Welcome to Lincoln Academy

The Resident Student Handbook is intended to help you have a great experience as a member of the Lincoln Academy Residential Community.

The people who work here at Lincoln Academy are very kind and thoughtful. We all want you to have a terrific experience here. If you have any questions, please just ask us and we will help you.

There is an important question for you to consider while you are here. That question is, “What does it mean to be a member of the Lincoln Residential Community?”

There are as many answers to this question as there are people who live at Lincoln Academy.  At the same time, we all have things in common.

For instance, we are involved in the community.  For over 200 years Lincoln Academy has prepared students to be citizens. Being a citizen requires you to be involved in the life of the community you are part of.  As a resident student at Lincoln you are an important member of an active, involved community.

We communicate a lot. There is always a lot going on in our community, so we need to be in touch with each other to make sure things go well.

We talk about respect and other important ideas.  Being respectful to each other and to ourselves makes life in our community better. Aspiration is another important idea we will be talking about this year.

Last but certainly not least, we have fun.  The people who live here like living here. We enjoy our time together and look forward to enjoying our time with you.

If you have any questions, please just ask.

Trish is joining the Residential Life staff fresh off of a 2-year hiatus in Germany. Living abroad allowed Trish to be closer to her family and for her kids to become bilingual. Prior to Germany, Trish and her family lived in Massachusetts, where she worked as a music therapist at UMass Memorial Children’s Medical Center, providing therapeutic intervention to hospitalized children. Music continues to play an important role in Trish’s life and she looks forward to exploring music-making opportunities here in Midcoast Maine.
