Joseph Clark High School

This high school in Lincoln has seen better days since being built back in the 1960s. The school faces problems like growing class size and shrinking faculty along with student absenteeism, drug problems, gang violence, and teen pregnancy. Throughout the year, the school’s dedicated faculty of teachers works hard to keep the students learning and out of trouble. Through their efforts, and those of the community, “JC High” has improved since its worst days in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s.
In addition to these strides, the school’s claim to fame is the superhero Sonic showing up on or near the JCHS grounds several times when he first began operating in Southside. Many suspect Sonic was a student at the school, although that has never been confirmed. Still, he has helped with school fund-raisers and been named an “honorary alumnus” by the school board.
