History

Lincoln High School was established in 1975 following the closure of the Old Lincoln High School in 1970 and relocation from its former location downtown to its current site in the southeast portion of the county.

Doug Frick was the first principal at Lincoln High School and served in that position until 1989. He was replaced that summer by William Montford, who had previously been the principal at Amos P. Godby High School. Montford served as Lincoln's principal until his election as the Leon County School Superintendent in the fall of 1996. Martha Bunch, an assistant principal under Montford since 1989, assumed the position of principal until the summer of 2008. In the 2008-2009 school year, Merry Ortega served as interim principal until summer of 2009, when Allen Burch became principal. He is currently serving in that capacity.

Colors and mascot

Prior to the opening of Lincoln in September 1975, the entering students participated in the selection of green, gold, and white as school colors, signifying youth, vigor, merit, honor and wisdom. The mascot selected was the Trojan, which signifies personal strength, loyalty, courage, and leadership.

A six-foot statue of a Trojan, erected in the summer of 2007, stands in front of the main office.
