The academic body that became Lincoln Academy was first organized in 1869. The first building at Lafayette and Copeland burned, and a new structure was built at Copeland and Park Avenue.

In 1906, lincoln Academy moved into a frame building on Brevard Street in Frenchtown, and in 1926 a brick building that also served as a gathering place replaced the wooden structure.

Lincoln High School closed in 1967. The building now serves as a community center.
