History

It was established in 1904. [2]

Prior to 1965 schools were segregated by race and black students attended Lincoln. [3] White students did not choose to attend the school in significant numbers after desegregation even though the district had initial plans for a more racially balanced student body. [4]

In 2002 it merged into Memorial High School. The building was converted into a middle school. [2]
