About Us
Lincoln-Hancock Community School was built in
1975, replacing the Lincoln and the Hancock Elementary Schools. Lincoln-Hancock is
an open space community school which houses grades one through five. The facility
includes a full-size gym, a cafetorium, swimming pool and a media/computer center.
The school is fully accessible to the physically challenged. The openness of the
school encourages an openness of attitude and thought among both the students and
teachers. Students and teachers are encouraged to share ideas as well as space.
Lincoln-Hancock is a wonderful place to work, learn, and grow for all.
Message from the Principal of the Lincoln Hancock
As the principal of the Lincoln Hancock School, it is my pleasure to welcome you and your child to our community of learners.
The staff at Lincoln Hancock is proud to be working with the children of West Quincy. We strive to not only meet the academic needs of our students but to also prepare the next generation of citizens. Respect of self, others, and property, compassion, community service, and problem solving skills are all traits reinforced through daily interactions with our staff. We provide opportunities for growth in both the academic realm and the personal. Therefore our mission in working with children from a diverse community is to help our students recognize and exercise their individual talents, explore opportunities to discover new talents, live up to the fundamental tenets of a democratic society, and to give each child the tools necessary for success both now and in the future.
I invite you to join our students, staff, parents, and community partners in our endeavor.
