Lincoln Public Schools is the second largest public school district in the U.S. state of Nebraska, located in the heart of the Great Plains. Known for its long-standing legacy of educational excellence and tradition of rigorous academic achievement, the school district of over 40,000 students is home to more than 60 schools and programs. [1]
The current superintendent is Dr. Steve Joel, who was hired in 2010. He previously served for ten years as superintendent in Grand Island, and eight years in Beatrice. A native of Long Island, New York, he has degrees from Doane College, the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, and Kansas State University.[2]
As of 2010, students of Lincoln Public Schools speak 52 languages; largely due to Lincoln being a destination of many refugees, who have settled there since the U.S. Government declared Lincoln a refugee-friendly city in the 1970s.[3]
