Who We Are : Our Community

Lincoln Park

Lincoln Park includes about 477 acres in the eastern portion of southeastern San Diego. It is bounded on the north by the San Diego-Arizona Eastern Railroad tracks (now the San Diego Trolley line), on the south by the City of National City, on the east by Euclid Avenue, and on the west by Interstate 805. Lincoln High School, named after Abraham Lincoln, is a focal point for the neighborhood. Many of the area's 9,600 residents associate themselves with the school, affectionately referring to the area as "Lincoln" or "Lincoln Park."

Landmarks/Points of Interests

"Teaching at Lincoln comes with obstacles, but the rewards are immense. The students' thirst for knowledge and their ability to adapt to change is inspiring. They are resilient, wise beyond their years, and have huge hearts. Everyone is committed to staying in the community, and they have deep interest in continuing the work that others have started."
– Kiki Ochoa
Teacher, Lincoln High School
