The Lincoln High School SAAC is committed to the following initiatives:
1. Providing student-athletes with the opportunity to effectively communicate with the LHS Athletic Department Ad
2. Promoting effective communication among coaches, the Athletics Department administration and student-athletes.
3. Promoting an awareness of Manitowoc Ships Athletics throughout the high school, middle schools, and the community.
4. Reviewing student-athlete rules and standards and propose recommendations to coaches and administration that support student-athlete social, emotional, physical, and mental well-being.
Purpose:
Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is a new student-athlete leadership group that will consist of current Lincoln Ships student-athletes. It will serve to gain insight into the student-athlete experience by allowing athletes to share their thoughts and insight on high school athletics, while promoting and implementing programs that encourage our schools core values and athlete well-being. Additionally, it will offer an opportunity for athletes to grow, learn, and listen to different guest speakers and coaches. The Manitowoc Lincoln SAAC models the National College Athletics Association (NCAA) SAAC structure, but operates to serve the needs of Lincoln High School student-athletes.
Personnel & Advisors:
SAAC representatives will serve as liaisons between student-athletes, the athletics administration, coaches and the Manitowoc community. All athletes are encouraged to communicate concerns and ideas to their team SAAC representatives for discussion at scheduled committee meetings. The advisors of the committee include:
Ms. Alyssa Chally (Fischer), Assistant of Athletics/Activities at Lincoln High School & UW-Milwaukee Basketball alumni, LHS alumni athlete, contact challya@mpsd.school or 920.663.9806.
