What Abraham Lincoln High School does

Abraham Lincoln High School is a public high school operating within San Jose Unified School District (SJUSD) in San Jose, California, serving approximately 1,524 students in grades 9-12 with a staff of 173 employees. Founded in 1940, the school has served the San Jose community for over 80 years and operates from its main campus at 555 Dana Avenue. As a public institution, it does not charge tuition; funding derives from California state education appropriations, local property taxes, and federal grants. The school's product offering centers on a college-preparatory academic curriculum aligned with UC/CSU A-G requirements, with a distinguishing Academic Visual and Performing Arts (AVPA) program strand that integrates academics with arts through choral and instrumental music, art, drama, dance, theater arts, photography, multimedia, and media arts.

The school extends its core offering through Career Technical Education (CTE) via partnership with Silicon Valley Career Technical Education (SVCTE) across 12 industry sectors, concurrent enrollment with six local community colleges, college access programs (UC Berkeley Destination College Advising Corps and TRiO Talent Search), and English Language Development programs. Extracurricular surface includes 44 athletic teams in the Blossom Valley Athletic League with approximately 700 student-athletes, plus over 35 student clubs and the Lincoln Lion Tales student newspaper. Notable recognitions include the National Blue Ribbon Award, four California Distinguished School Awards, and the 2004 21st Century Schools of Distinction Award for Community Partnerships.

The technology stack is entirely district-standard and non-proprietary: Canvas LMS for learning management, Infinite Campus for student information, OneLogin for single sign-on, Destiny for library management, Home Campus for athletic registration, MealViewer for nutrition services, Parchment for transcripts, and Google Analytics for web analytics. The school website is built on the Finalsite web platform. Distribution occurs through SJUSD district enrollment processes for in-boundary students, with no commercial go-to-market motion. The institution is governed by the San Jose Unified Board of Education and supplemented by independent parent organizations including the Lincoln Foundation, PTSA, and Athletic Booster Club.
