inclusion in 25+ varsity sports and 60+ clubs/organizations including ROTC, Robotics, Model UN among…So. Much. More!

Together, thanks to your generous donations, Friends of Lincoln Park High School (FOLPHS), has already:

Endorsed trainings for all teachers to thrive
Contributed to creativity by providing equipment for Music & Arts programs
Helped close the technology gap by adding Smartboards permanently within each and every classroom for daily use
Beautified school bathrooms for everyone’s comfort & ease
Joined gym upgrade efforts (check it out, it’s impressive!)

Together, thanks to your generous donations, all LPHS students can continue to SHINE. Please give so FOLPHS can meet and beat its $200,000 goal to make these investments in our school for the 2025–2026 school year:

Transform the computer lab with up-to-date technology
Enhance the auditorium with new curtains to replace the ripped & flammable ones
Secure school grounds with a safe & welcoming gate
Provide paint for the school's common areas

No matter the amount, every dollar counts
Chicago Public Schools' (CPS) budget is always in flux, and CPS' budget only covers salaries at LPHS. But organizations such as FOLPHS strive to provide funds to enhance the educational experiences of our over 2,100 students!
