Just wanted to reach out to all the grads living in the 98103. Lincoln High School has been closed for many years but we have a very active alumni association . For a $15.00 a year membership you receive 3 very newsy papers about classmates from your era and up and coming reunions and pictures galore. Go to our web site at www.lincolnhighlynx.org and get the whole scoop and the application for joining.
We give out scholarship yearly to relatives of former graduates. Of course they must apply and qualify for the scholarship. We gave 22 $1000.00 scholarships last year. Our annual luncheon in June is a time to bring your past to life with seeing former classmates and catching up on old times. Make this a New Years resolution to check out our web site.

According to the web site:
Even though the school closed in 1981 as Lincoln High School, the building was refurbished several years ago and has housed several Seattle schools while their buildings were being rebuilt or upgraded, including Ballard High School (1997-1999), Roosevelt High School (2004-2006), Garfield High School (2006-2008), and Hamilton International Middle School (2008-2010). The Lincoln APP school and a 1st to 5th grade school are currently using the building.
The Mission of the Lincoln Lynx Alumni Association is three-fold:
- Promote and preserve the history of Lincoln High School of Seattle, Washington.
- Promote activities that strengthen bonds between Lincoln graduates, attendees and staff
- Provide scholarships to lineal descendants of Lincoln High School, Seattle, Washington graduates, attendees and staff.
