Kathy Paterson 

Kathy Paterson was appointed as principal in 2013. She came to Lincoln with over 30 years’ experience in education and is passionate about making a positive difference for each and every student. Kathy’s vision for our learners is that they leave Lincoln High School as confident, capable life-long learners who can problem-solve collaboratively and relate well to those around them.

Lincoln High School’s strong values attracted Kathy to the position of principal and she is very committed to upholding and growing these values in the Lincoln High School community. Quality teaching is very important for our young people, hence a commitment to staff professional development will remain a key priority for Kathy as she leads Lincoln High School into the future.

Kathy believes relationships are the key to students, staff and parents working together to provide the very best opportunities for our students.
