Gahanna Lincoln High School: From Past to Present

Two current GLHS students took a deep dive into the past to help tell the story of where the Gahanna Lincoln High School story began.

Produced by Lincoln Live students Isaiah Banks and Brooke Thomas, this short documentary brings Gahanna Lincoln High School’s history to life. Spanning more than a century, it weaves together the moments, traditions and voices that have defined GLHS through the years.

This documentary takes a meaningful look at the legacy behind Gahanna Lincoln High School and the spirit that continues to move forward.

Congratulations to our recent Heart and Pride award winners!

Cory Pulles, third grade teacher at Blacklick, and Dr. Erin Schmidt, English language arts coordinator, were recognized at the March Board of Education meeting.

Wendy Roberts, intervention specialist at Middle School West, and Rachel Wachtman, reading specialist at Chapelfield were recognized at the April Board of Education meeting for showcasing the heart of a lion and power of the pride.

If you know of a staff member, regardless of position, who exemplifies our District values, be sure to nominate them!

The Ohio Department of Education and Workforce (ODEW) would like to invite you to participate in a short, 25 question survey about your involvement in your student’s education.

Research suggests that parental involvement is a key predictor of positive educational outcomes. You may be eligible to participate if your child has an IEP and receives special education services. The purpose of collecting this information is to improve services for students with disabilities across Ohio.

If you are eligible to participate and you enroll in the study, you will be entered in a drawing for several $50 Amazon gift cards. Please consult information about the survey to see if you are eligible to participate.

Building Pride for Our Future
