Lincoln 100
Big birthdays deserve a big celebration! This spring, Lincoln Elementary will mark an important milestone: 100 years of educating, inspiring, and anchoring the Beverly Road community.
Since opening its doors in 1925, Lincoln has grown, renovated, reimagined, and welcomed nearly 40,000 students through its halls. From wartime community efforts in the 1940s to generations of PTA initiatives, playground upgrades, and expansions, the school’s history reflects not only Mt. Lebanon’s growth, but the heart of the families who call Lincoln home.
