“I still remember, like it was yesterday, the voice of my 11th grade English teacher Mara Murphy reading Emerson's essay 'Self Reliance' aloud.  In that time and place I learned and never forgot the value of questions, the power of imagination, and the importance of testing my wings.” 

Susan (Schroeder) Seacrest, Class of 1971

   
Lincoln Southeast

Lincoln Southeast High School opened in 1955 as a junior-senior high school.  Southeast became a high school only in 1963 when Pound Junior High opened.  There are over 21,000 Southeast High graduates still carrying on the LSE tradition and former Knights now live in all 50 states. 

The Foundation for Lincoln Public Schools was established in 1989 to support the Lincoln Public Schools.  In those 20 years funds have been raised for programs at Southeast that go beyond what tax dollars support, programs that enrich students’ learning and enhance the curriculum.  In 2009, the Southeast auditorium was renovated and renamed the Jennifer L. Dorsey-Howley Performing Arts Center.  The renovation was funded by the 2006 LPS bond and donations to the Foundation for Lincoln Public Schools.
