History
Lincoln East was opened in 1967. It became the fourth high school in Lincoln Public Schools. In the past, it has utilized an eight-period schedule, however it currently operates on a seven-period day. With the adoption of blue and white as school colors, Lincoln East became the first public Lincoln high school without black as one of the primary school colors. Its mascot, Martin The Spartan, was changed into a new blow-up suit during the summer of 2009. A statue of Martin stands in the south entrance.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“There is no history of how bad became better.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“To summarize the contentions of this paper then. Firstly, the phrase ‘the meaning of a word’ is a spurious phrase. Secondly and consequently, a re-examination is needed of phrases like the two which I discuss, ‘being a part of the meaning of’ and ‘having the same meaning.’ On these matters, dogmatists require prodding: although history indeed suggests that it may sometimes be better to let sleeping dogmatists lie.”
—J.L. (John Langshaw)
“What we call National-Socialism is the poisonous perversion of ideas which have a long history in German intellectual life.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
