AG STRANGE PRESENTS LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL
WITH 2014 ATTORNEY GENERAL’S SAFE SCHOOL INITIATIVE
AWARD OF EXCELLENCE
(MONTGOMERY) – Attorney General Strange today presented Lincoln High
School in Talladega County with the 2014 Attorney General’s Safe School Initiative
Award of Excellence for Alabama State School District 3. One school was selected as
the winner from each of the Alabama State School Board of Education districts.
“The Alabama Safe Schools Initiative Awards of Excellence are presented to
schools that have performed exceptionally to provide a safe environment for students,
with special emphasis on implementation of the Best Practices my office compiled
based on last year’s recipients,” said Attorney General Strange. “I’m pleased that
Lincoln High School was selected as one of the eight winning schools in Alabama for 2014. In making this decision, the judges noted many things that distinguished Lincoln
High School: its No Texting and Driving campaign with AT&T, an initiative with
which my office is a proud partner; and its provision of training for students and
parents in technology etiquette, responsible use of social media, and dangers of
cyberbullying. I am honored to personally present the safe schools award to Lincoln
High School.”
“Lincoln High School is very honored to be awarded the 2014 Alabama Safe
Schools Initiative Award of Excellence,” said Principal Andy Keith. “It is very
important to our faculty, staff, students and members of our community that we
provide the safest learning environment possible for our students. We take pride in our
schools and the safe environment that we establish.”
Attorney General Strange is personally presenting the awards for the 2014
Awards of Excellence to the eight winning schools during the month of October. Other
winning schools throughout the state include Orange Beach Elementary School in
Baldwin County, Northington Elementary School in Tuscaloosa County, Haleyville
High School in Winston County, Meadow View Elementary School in Shelby County,
Hayden Elementary School in Blount County, Beauregard Elementary School in Lee
County and Oak Park Middle School in Morgan County.
