DISTRICT AT A GLANCE
Lin-Wood School District benefits from a highly experienced and truly invested leadership team at the K-12 school level. The current leadership wears many "hats" as befits a small District and gets the opportunity, thereby, to know the inner workings of all facets of School life. This is a tremendous strength as the leadership team does not work in silos. They anticipate welcoming a new Superintendent who shares the desire to be fully involved in all aspects of the education of Lin-Wood's students from early childhood through graduation and who shares a desire to create as many opportunities as possible at every juncture along that path of a Lin-Wood student.
Lin-Wood budgets and expends significantly more than the State average per student ($28,253 in FY '22 vs. NH average for the same period of $19,400.). Lin-Wood School District benefits from strong community involvement and support. Community businesses and civic organizations in 2023 provided the graduating class roughly $60,000 in locally sponsored scholarships. Full engagement of staff (a majority of whom live in the towns of Lincoln and Woodstock) allows for incredible student experiences, both academic and life skills based.
Students participate in programs in NH and nation-wide such as Read Across America, Poetry Out Loud, Granite State Challenge, Rotary Speech Content, Rotary Interact Club, Future Business Leaders of America and more. STEM is promoted with programs such as robotics offered for grades K-12 and Visual and Performing Arts are celebrated with students taking part in exhibitions, concerts and competitions throughout the year.
A range of AP offerings are available to students, who can also earn college credits through the Running Start/Community College System of New Hampshire. In addition to everything offered in District, Students can take classes through Virtual Learning Academy (VLACS) if they are interested in a class not offered at Lin-Wood.
For students wishing to pursue immediate engagement in the workforce post-graduation or simply explore or learn more about a technical field, Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs are available via partnerships with neighboring schools.
Extended Learning Opportunities (ELO) are made possible through partnerships with local businesses willing to tailor an internship to a student interest. Recreational offerings both at the most competitive levels and in the adaptive recreation realm abound because of the relationship with the local resort mountain of Loon and because of availability of outdoor recreation year-round.
