Lincoln Southeast High School

What Lincoln Southeast High School does

Lincoln Southeast High School (LSE) is a public secondary school serving approximately 1,900 students in grades 9-12 at its single campus at 2930 South 37th Street in Lincoln, Nebraska. The school is operated by Lincoln Public Schools (LPS), a public school district serving nearly 42,000 students across 42 schools, and is governed by the Lincoln Board of Education. LSE opened on September 25, 1955 under Principal Hazel G. Scott with 652 students and has operated continuously for 70 years.

LSE offers a comprehensive curriculum across 15 academic departments (Art, Business, English, Family and Consumer Science, Math, Music, Physical Education, Science, Skilled & Technical Sciences, Social Studies, Special Education, and World Language), supplemented by an AP Capstone Program, National Honor Society, 13 interscholastic sports, and approximately 20 student activities and clubs. The school's technology stack includes a district-wide Chromebook 1:1 program, Google Classroom, the Edupoint Synergy Student Information System (powering StudentVUE and ParentVUE portals), and the Apptegy content management platform. Differentiated programs include Knight House (after-school supervised study space), Knightly Success (assignment-completion support), and a Math Help Room (F201B).

LSE is funded entirely through Lincoln Public Schools district allocations derived from local property taxes, state aid, and federal programs; no tuition is charged to in-district families. Revenue derives from a single institutional payor (the LPS district), with nominal ancillary fees for items such as Chromebook insurance ($20/year, $10 for free/reduced lunch participants), activity participation, and graduation cap and gown. The school maintains partnerships with Southeast Community College (dual credit including CNA and Phlebotomy), Lincoln Food Bank (monthly food market), Education Quest (financial aid), Lincoln City Libraries (HelpNow tutoring), and the Foundation for Lincoln Public Schools (scholarships). The school reports a 78% AP exam pass rate, 21 combined Class A All-Sports Championships, and 55% of graduates matriculating to four-year colleges.
