We develop partnerships with community agencies.
We strive to use all community resources available to us. The use of outside resources helps foster relationships between community members and available community means. These help connect students and families to each other and aide when and where possible. They help us address issues when we do not have the resources to otherwise do so. If you would like to partner with Lincoln School please contact one of the Counselors. We currently partner with:
- Will County Health Department/SASS
- Joliet Job Corps
- Guardian Angel Community Services
- Rosecrance
- Joliet Junior College
- Joliet Police Department
- Will County State’s Attorney
It is important that students begin to think beyond Middle and High School. Whether students plan to attend a 2 year or 4 year college or immediately enter the workforce, planning is important. We encourage our students explore their options and utilize all the resources that are available to them.
