Bonfire, parade, food trucks, fireworks, school tours and more
Manitowoc - Reconnect with your classmates! Decorate a parade sign! Enjoy a tailgate party. Oooh and ahhh at the fireworks. Tour the school. Cheer on the SHIPS football team. Remember your high school days.
Lincoln High School is welcoming ALL alumni students and retired staff - as well as the greater Manitowoc community - to attend its 100-year anniversary Homecoming events this week. This school year Lincoln is celebrating its centennial with events including Homecoming, a birthday party in January and graduation in June. See more information at mantylincoln100.com.
Lincoln High School was built in 1923 and classes began in January 1924, as students moved from then-Washington High School to the new Lincoln High with its legendary tower. In 2017 Architectural Digest named Lincoln as the “most beautiful” public high school in Wisconsin.
