Improvement
Abraham Lincoln High School was one of 16 schools nation-wide (one of 4 in Denver) selected by the College Board for inclusion in the EXCELerator School Improvement Model program beginning the 2007-2008 school year. EXCELerator includes a college prep curriculum designed to help students focus and succeed in college. The project was funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
