Lincoln Academy is located at the former Abe Lincoln Elementary
School on 1500 N. McLean Street. The school’s charter members
include CEL, Clinton, Hartsburg-Emden, Lincoln High School, Lincoln
District #27, Mt. Pulaski, New Holland-Middletown, and WLB. Lincoln
District #27 is the managing district and oversees the daily
operations of this new school, and there are currently nine students
enrolled.
Lincoln District #27 superintendent Kent Froebe said, “We are
excited to offer this Academy for students who are struggling in
their current school environment. We are equally excited to have
hired Del Sutter as our Director. Sutter spent over 20 years as a
teacher and Director of Salt Creek Academy prior to its closure in
2019.” According to Sutter, one of the advantages this setting will
provide is smaller class sizes which allows for more one-on-one
assistance. Students work at their own pace and receive credit as
the courses are completed.
Abe Lincoln Academy opened with Sutter as the Director along with
two teachers who work to establish a learning plan which is best
suited for each student to ensure success and potential grade
advancement. The overall goal is to provide struggling students with
another opportunity to experience success and potential growth for
their future.
