Dr. Myeshia Whigham, Principal

Dear Lincoln Middle School Families,
Welcome to another exciting year at Lincoln Middle School! It is truly an honor and a privilege to continue serving this incredible school community as your principal. As we begin a new school year together, I want to thank you for the trust you place in us each day to educate, support, and care for your children.
Lincoln has so much to celebrate. Last year, our students achieved tremendous academic growth, our families strengthened their partnership with the school, and our staff continued to create
meaningful opportunities for every student to succeed. Those accomplishments are the result of a dedicated team of educators, an outstanding student support team, committed families, and, most importantly, students who work hard every day. While we are proud of what we've accomplished together, we know our best days are still ahead.
At Lincoln, our work is guided by the 3 Ps: Presence, Partnership, and Purpose.
Presence means showing up every day ready to learn, support one another, and be actively
engaged in our school community.
Partnership reminds us that student success is strongest when families, staff, students, and our
community work together with a shared commitment to excellence.
Purpose means every lesson, every conversation, and every opportunity is intentional—helping
students discover their strengths, grow as leaders, and prepare for what comes next.
These three principles ultimately prepare our students for the 4th P: Pathway—their pathway to
success in high school, college, career, and life. Everything we do at Lincoln is designed to help
students build the confidence, character, and skills they need to pursue the future they envision
for themselves.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support. I encourage you to stay connected, attend
school events, communicate with our staff, and become an active part of the Lincoln family.
Together, we will continue building on our success and creating an exceptional experience for
every student.
I look forward to seeing you at registration, Back-to-School Night, performances, athletic events,
celebrations, and throughout the school year. Here's to another outstanding year at Lincoln
Middle School!
With Panther Pride,
Dr. Myeshia Whigham

Alicia Johal, Assistant Principal

Hello Panther families,
My name is Alicia Johal and I am thrilled to be at Lincoln Middle School for the third year as your Assistant Principal. I started my career in education in 2012 as a student teacher here at Lincoln Middle School, and I am honored to rejoin the Panther Family. I also feel very lucky to have attended both middle and high school here in Oceanside Unified School District - and to call Oceanside home.
I bring with me a background in teaching leadership, curriculum development, and a passion for student voice and community engagement. My previous roles include being a middle and high school science teacher, science curriculum specialist, new teacher mentor, district robotics coordinator, assistant director of innovation, dean, and adjunct professor.
I am dedicated to working closely with Lincoln Middle School’s students and families to ensure each student thrives here at school. Middle school is an exciting time in a young person's life and I hope you walk onto campus knowing how happy we are that you are here, and that we will all be here to support you. The Lincoln teachers, staff, and administrative team believe in you and your success. How can you be successful in the 2026-27 school year? Be engaged, get involved with activities that interest you, care for each other, and ask for help when you need it!
Our partnership will allow us to have an enriching and meaningful school year. I look forward to collaborating with you, celebrating you, and witnessing all you will accomplish this year in middle school!
