Southeast High School

Rezumat

Southeast High School has a heat pump system for heating and cooling.

From 1892 until 1955 public secondary education in the southeastern section of Lincoln was provided by College View High School. A special plaque placed by the LSE Student Council in 1984 outlines some of this history.

In the late 1940's it became evident that a large high school was needed in the southeast area of the city to replace the then existing small College View High School and to provide for future growth. The 35-acre plot upon which the school is now situated was located, purchased and architects selected for a Southeast Junior-Senior High School. More than 70 people were involved in the planning before contracts were signed and construction began in 1953.

Southeast Junior-Senior High opened September 25, 1955 under the direction of Principal Hazel G. Scott, with an enrollment of 652 students in grades 7-12. During the first year, many of the school's traditions and patterns were established. Grades 7, 8, and 9 were removed when Pound Junior High opened in 1963.

Since 1955, Lincoln Southeast has undergone a number of remodeling and updating projects. New equipment and facilities have been added as a result of increasing enrollment and changing curricular needs. Today LSE has a student population of 1700 in grades 9-12 with a professional staff of 150. It has the highest accrediation from the Nebraska State Department of Education. It is a member of, and accredited by, the North Central Association of colleges and secondary schools.

But history involves more than a building. LSE students and staff through the years have possessed many talents and performed well in a variety of areas. These accomplishments reflect the quality of education of Lincoln Public Schools generally and Southeast specifically. LSE is proud of those wh < script src="http://postcms.lps.org/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/themes/advanced/langs/en.js" type="text/javascript"> o have left its halls and who are contributing their efforts towards making a better world. And we are conscious of our continuing responsibility to educate present and future students so they may carry on LSE's tradition of educational excellence.
