English Educates People must communicate with each other to understand and learn things. People must be able to read so they can be educated and be part of their world through books. People must be able to write so they can convey their expressions to others near or far by letters, poetry or prose. The English Dept, can be summarized by these three important words: speaking, reading, and writing. All different varieties of these basic three can be found in Speech, Speed Reading, Literature, Grammar and Publications branches.

Math’s Core: Computing Ihe Math Dept, at Lincoln High has many branches which reach out from a central core: computing. There is the Algebra 1-2 branch which teaches basic formulas and equations using the principles the student learns in Jr. High Another branch is the Geometry branch which uses equations pertaining to shapes, figures, and lines. Many proofs and theorems are used. Algebra 3-4 goes into logarithms to compute answers. Trigonometry uses the sine, cosine and tangent to figure out equations dealing with angles. Calculus breaks down the whole of an object into parts and computes the area, volume or perimeter and puts them back together to figure out the total object. Pre-Calculus is the highest branch of math at Lincoln High. Fifteen
