Each year the NCHSAA partners with our Governor in the Highway Safety Scholar Athlete Program. Our fall and winter sports did fantastic. I want to give a huge thanks to our parents, fans, teachers, administrators, bus drivers, cafeteria workers, janitors, coaches and anyone else for not only promoting on the field success but also off the field success here at East Lincoln High School. I am a proud parent, coach and athletic director and want to personally thank all of you for everything you do for our kids and community.
Out of the 12 Varsity sports we offer 11 of them will be recognized by the NCHSAA for having an overall unweighted TEAM GPA of 3.1 or higher during their sports semester.
