Lincoln College is included in the Lincoln Academy program because
of the school’s original charter as Lincoln University in 1865.
Lincoln College President John M. Hutchinson commented that Franklin
is a very positive addition to Lincoln College. "We are happy that
Sarah chose Lincoln College, and we are delighted to see that she is
receiving this recognition," he said. "She is involved with a
variety of athletic groups within the Lincoln College campus
community, and her leadership and dedication is admired by many. She
has made an impact on her peers at Lincoln College."
