User:Nihonjoe/Lincoln High School (Utah)

Lincoln High School was a combined junior high and high school from 1912-1976 in Orem, Utah. Lincoln High became Lincoln Junior High when Orem High School opened in 1956 and all of the high school students moved there.

The school was closed and condemned as a fire hazard in 1976. It was demolished a short time later.

History
The first class of Lincoln High School was a ninth grade class held in fall 1912 in Spencer School, an elementary school located across the street from where Lincoln High was built. A tenth grade class was added the following year. Eleventh and twelfth grade students attended in Pleasant Grove until the Lincoln High School building was completed in 1921.

In 1956, Orem High School was completed and opened, and Lincoln High School changed its name to Lincoln Junior High School. The building was vacated in 1976 due to being condemned as a fire hazard, and was demolished shortly thereafter.

The former location of the main building is now occupied by two credit unions, a convenience store, and the Orem Heritage Museum.
