We the People - 2020

A team from Lincoln East High School has qualified for the national competition in We the People, a program that promotes civic responsibility and knowledge about the history and principles of U.S. constitutional democracy. Roughly 100 LPS high school students participated in the state competition, held Jan. 8 at the University of Nebraska College of Law. In addition to East - which won for the 13th time in 15 years - students from Southeast, North Star and Southwest high schools also competed. Southeast finished second and may still earn a trip to nationals as a “wild card.”
