Our mission at Lincoln Elementary School is to provide a nurturing environment where we model and promote life-long learning so that each of our students learns to their full potential.

Our history

Lincoln Elementary School began in 1921 with a portable: one room, one class and one teacher, who later become the school’s first principal. The first permanent structure was built in 1924 and had four classrooms. Many additions to the building were made over the years to accommodate the influx of students during World War II. During this time, the school was filled twice per day—a morning shift and an afternoon shift of classes.

Other historic moments:

September 1996 — Lincoln’s new building opens after the original building is razed.

Fall 2009 – Nine schools, including Lincoln, receive Energy Star Awards for energy efficiency from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy.
