Gahanna Lincoln High School

I hope you enjoyed a restful and relaxing break! As we prepare to begin scheduling for the 2026-2027 school year, we want to ensure that students and families have all the information needed to make thoughtful and informed course selections.

Later this evening, we will be sending home a family communication with important details about the upcoming scheduling process. This message will include information on timelines, resources, and next steps so you and your student can begin planning together.

Our goal is to make the scheduling experience smooth and transparent for everyone. Please keep an eye on your email this evening for the full message and links to all related materials.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support as we help our students plan for a successful year ahead!

Go Lions!

Gahanna Lincoln High School will be virtually hosting their annual College Credit Plus (CCP) Informational Student and Parent meeting on Wednesday, December 10, 2025, from 6:30-8:30pm. The first hour of the meeting will include general CCP information from central Ohio colleges and universities, and the second hour will highlight specific requirements from GLHS as well as time for Q&A.

As shared on the Ohio Department of Higher Education's website, "College Credit Plus is Ohio’s dual enrollment program that provides students in grades 7-12 the opportunity to earn college and high school credits at the same time by taking courses from Ohio colleges or universities. The purpose of this program is to enhance students’ career readiness and postsecondary success, while providing a wide variety of options to college-ready students, at no or limited costs to students and families." More information about the program can be found on the Ohio Department of Higher Education's website.
