Lincoln Northeast High School is a public high school in Lincoln, Nebraska, United States. It is part of the Lincoln Public Schools district and was established in 1941 when three rival schools (Bethany, Havelock and Jackson) were combined into one. The school is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and has been rated "AA" by the Nebraska Department of Education since 1943.
Mascot
The school's athletic teams are known as the Rockets. The name was originally taken from the Rock Island Rocket, a passenger train that once passed through northeast Lincoln. In the 1960s, a decommissioned Nike Ajax missile was donated to the school and placed on the front lawn. The missile was repeatedly stolen and recovered; in 1990, it disappeared permanently. In 2016, members of the booster club raised $55,000 for a new Script error: No such module "convert"., Script error: No such module "convert". rocket sculpture.[1][2]
