From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Abraham Lincoln High School was a public high school in western Port Arthur, Texas and a part of the Port Arthur Independent School District. Prior to 1965 schools were segregated by race and black students attended Lincoln.[1] White students did not choose to attend the school in significant numbers after desegregation even though the district had initial plans for a more racially balanced student body.[2]

It was established in 1904.[3]

In 2002 it merged into Memorial High School. The building was converted into a middle school.[3]
