Letter from the Head

We are back – and thriving. Lincoln School opened its doors in September with our full academic program in place, our Global Programs back on schedule, and traditions like the Rhode Island Festival of Children’s Books and Authors returning in person after a two-year hiatus.

Gratitude and optimism are palpable in the halls. In an unprecedented act of generosity, the Hibbitt/Rockwell family has donated $5 million to Lincoln to enrich teaching and learning over a 10-year period. We are rolling out an ambitious strategic plan to strengthen our rich curriculum, exceptional faculty, and dynamic community partnerships. And we have redesigned our annual magazine, which you are holding. Our goal is to deliver a more frequent and accessible source of news, one that reflects our unique embrace of innovation and tradition. Character, curiosity, connection, and courage are the hallmarks of a Lincoln education. We held tight to these principles through the COVID crisis and emerged out of its grip stronger for our struggles. The school has stayed steadfast in its mission through not one, but two pandemics, two world wars, more than a dozen recessions, and one Great Depression.

I have the privilege to lead Lincoln and I can attest to the power and strength of this community. My deepest thanks to Lincoln faculty, students, parents, and alumnae for your grit and your grace. You all inspire me.

Onward together,
