About the cover:

Given the current political climate across the country, we decided that we wanted the cover to reflect what we think is the overall message/climate/mood/atmosphere of Lincoln High – that feeling of belonging.

It doesn’t mean that we all always get along or that there are never any conflicts or problems. It does mean that whoever you are, wherever you’re from, whatever you background is, and wherever you’re going, you belong here. You’re welcome here. This is where you should be.

It doesn’t mean giving up who you were before you came here, and it doesn’t mean that you have to fit someone else’s expectations of what you should look like or sound like or act like. It means appreciating the uniqueness of others and maybe adding some of those characteristics to yourself.

It means listening to, and respecting, a variety of opinions as well as sharing your own.

It means expanding your concept of the world and our place in it. The students pictured on the cover represent the diversity of our student body.

These past couple of months have been (and continue to be) stressful for many students and staff (and their families). There is a lot of uncertainty these days in many aspects of our lives, and there may be more to come, but we want all students at Lincoln High to feel that this is where they belong.

The chain that is the symbol of our school is a constant reminder that we are stronger together and that we can weather any storm if we support each other. We are enriched by ourdiversity. It’s what makes us who we are as a school and as a country. Now, more than ever, we need to embrace that diversity and see it for the incredible gift that it is.

Our job at The Advocate, as the voice of Lincoln High, is to inform our community. It’s right there in our name. We are here to be an advocate for you.
