Excellent reputation

Hanging on the lamps of a main road in the campus, the logos of the centennial anniversary celebration tell the profound history of the school to the visitors.

Inspired by the famous Eton College in the UK, Lincoln High School was built in the Gothic style in 1914. In the 1940s, Lincoln Stadium went up on the campus. Celebrities like Elvis Presley were invited to visit.

China friendly environment

According to American media's report, Nathan Bowling, the teacher of the sociology class audited by President Xi, is a big fan of China. During the class, the students will discuss the differences between the positions of the American president and the Chinese president under the direction of Nathan Bowling.
