History
In the early to mid-1970s, Morgan Community College initiated the Fort Morgan alternative high school, initially named "New Beginnings" and housed in the basement of the old Farmer's State Bank building at Main Street and Kiowa.
In the Fall of 1993, Lincoln High School found its name from the historic Lincoln High School building at 900 State Street. Initially under South Platte BOCES, Lincoln High School transitioned to the Morgan County School RE-3 District in the fall of 1997.
During the 1994-1995 school year, the school adopted the black panther as its mascot, introduced the "Eye of Reality" newspaper, and launched the "In Your Eyes" yearbook, with purple and black as the school colors.
In 1996-1997, the school initiated the First Annual Chili/Soup Supper to fund graduation expenses. By the 2000-2001 school year, students showed increased enthusiasm for community involvement, pursuing higher education, and joining the Armed Services. This year also saw the inception of Sherman Head Start and Colorado Preschool Partnership, aimed at promoting literacy in younger grades.
The 2006-2007 school year marked a transformative period for Lincoln High School, as it moved into a new building with a renewed focus on becoming a strong representative within the school district, prioritizing the growth and achievements of students in need of an alternative education setting.
