In its pursuit of excellence in preparing a child for life and a chosen vocation, the Lincoln Parish School system believes that every student has the inherent right to the best education that can be provided. The Lincoln Parish School System is dedicated to establishing and following educationally sound objectives that provide for a quality instructional program. The system consists of eight elementary, one junior high, four high schools, four laboratory programs, an alternative program, and two preschool programs. Title I operates two preschool classes at Lincoln Center and one at Hico Elementary, while an 8g grant also funds a class at Lincoln Center. The Even Start program, housed at Lincoln Center, combines a preschool class with a class for parents who are completing their education.
Class size is limited to twenty students with one teacher and one aide.
A non-categorical preschool class is also provided at Lincoln Center for children with special needs.
