Lincoln Southeast High School is a public government education school located in Lincoln, Nebraska, United States. It is part of the Lincoln Public Schools school district.
Lincoln Southeast High School has the highest accreditation from the Nebraska Department of Education. It is a member of, and is accredited by, the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. In 1986, Southeast High School was recognized in the U.S. Department of Education's Secondary School Recognition Program as a "School of Excellence". The school colors are black, gold, and white, and its athletic teams are the Knights. Advanced Placement courses are offered for sophomores, juniors, and seniors.
As part of a recent $250 million school improvement bond issue, renovations were planned for Southeast and are now finished. Renovations included the expansion of the cafeteria, the replacement of the roofing and windows, renovation of the performing arts wing, new classroom additions, new heating and air conditioning systems, and various exterior fixes. The renovations were started in June 2006 and were expected to be finished in mid-2008, but delays moved it back to early 2009.
From 1971 until 2013, Southeast was nominated for twenty All Sport Championships. From its beginning in 1955, Southeast has won 119 state championships for team sports in various athletic fields.
Southeast offers many other non-athletic programs, such as drama, speech, and debate. Southeast's dance team, the Shirettes, have won national competitions since their inception in the 1980s, including in 2015. Southeast's cheerleading competition team won the state title in 2010 and 2016.
Southeast also has a music program that includes two symphonic bands, marching band, two jazz bands and eight choirs that compete in numerous state festivals.
The Nebraska Cornhusker Marching Band was unable to attend the Holiday Bowl, and the Lincoln Southeast Marching Knights were asked to fill in at the bowl game. They played for the Nebraska Cornhuskers football team as they took the field on December 30, 2009 and performed during the game.
