Help Us Build the Future!
Support the Trojans Legacy Capital Campaign
We often tell our football players to do “what it takes” to win. We ask them to “give 110 percent effort” in order to make our football team the best it can be. As alumni, parents and students of Lincoln High School, we pride ourselves in the success of our football team. We now have a chance to do our part to help the entire Lincoln High School family reach new heights, creating a legacy for future generations of students and alumni.
The “Trojans Legacy Capital Campaign” is a five-year fundraising plan designed to provide for the capital improvements necessary to compete at the highest level with other nationally recognized high school football programs. As a nationally recognized high school football program, we want to provide our players and coaches with the very best in facilities, equipment and other football-related needs to put us on par with other top-level programs across the nation. As you will see as you review the plans for this campaign, these improvements will also provide tremendous benefits to other sports programs and to Lincoln High School as a whole.
Our fundraising plan is simple: To harness the power of our alumni and friends, having each give a little towards our goals. Each campaign donor would make a five year pledge representing their total payment to the campaign, then make an initial payment representing one of their five yearly payments at some point during the first year. Future pledges would be linked to credit/debit cards and would be automatically billed at the beginning of each football budget year (May 1) or at regular monthly intervals within a given year until completed.
Now more than ever, we need each of our loyal supporters to do “what it takes” and to “give 110 percent” to this program just like we ask our football players to do. And in doing so, we will take our football team, our entire student body and our extended family at Lincoln High School to the next level for many years to come. Please join with us by giving generously to ensure our future success!

Nike Selects Lincoln High School as an 'Elite' Football Program
The Lincoln High School football team will have a new emblem on their jersey next year: a Nike swoosh.
Nike and Lincoln announced today a multi-year sponsorship deal that places the Lincoln Trojans football program as one of a select few Nike Elite programs in the state of Florida. And, the only football program in North Florida.

“We wanted to partner with Lincoln because of their long standing success on the playing field and we feel they have tremendous untapped potential. A “Five Days Till Friday” has been put in place which is a unique experience on its own and truly shows our commitment to Lincoln,” said Rhanda Hinote, Vice President of Sales/OTS, the representing team dealer for Nike. “OTS and Nike look forward to growing this partnership together with not only Lincoln football but the entire athletic department and administration.”
“Lincoln football has been on Nike’s radar for quite some time. We are ecstatic to finally have Lincoln aboard the Nike team and look forward to the ongoing partnership,” said Shawna Toy, Nike Team Sales Representative for the Southeast.
The high school elite program is similar to how Nike sponsors college football programs.
Head Coach Yusuf Shakir began conversations with Nike two years ago. “Our school’s motto is a commitment to excellence. To have Lincoln partner with such a great company pushes us to the next level,” said Shakir. “I’m proud of the fact that our football program has been recognized as one of the best in the state.”
“We’re thrilled. This opportunity came on the heels of Lincoln being named among the “Top 15 High School Football Factories” in the United States by the Bleacher Report. That same week four of our players signed national letters of intent with major Division 1 college football programs. Now we’re a Nike elite school. This is just the beginning of great things to come for the Lincoln family,” added Allen Burch, the principal at Lincoln High School.
The Lincoln Trojans ended their 34th season with a combined varsity record of 261-122-1, which includes 16 trips to the state playoffs. Lincoln has amassed a record of 34-14 in the playoffs and has recorded two state championships (1999 and 2001) and one state runner-up (2008). This tradition of excellence continues to produce top collegiate and NFL athletes and is the foundation for Lincoln’s success.
