History

Founding

In 1846, Mrs. Jackson Taylor opened the first school in her home at Waterloo Road and East 13th Streets. Early residents recalled seeing parents escort their children to school because Indians living in the area were sighted in the woods near the Taylor home. Today, a marker commemorates the site of the Taylor home.

Central School

In 1863, the old Central School was constructed to serve grades K-12 which occupied an entire city block. In 1875, due to population increases, a west wing addition was added to the main building.

Lincoln School

In the 1890s the name was changed to Lincoln School. Later (before 1893) an east wing addition as well as a bell tower was added.

First high school

In 1900, Cedar Falls High School was constructed as the first separate high school in Cedar Falls. The building was located where the "Cedar Falls Recreation Center" currently resides. An addition was added in 1914 and this building was used until 1953.

Second and Third Lincoln Schools

In 1924, a new Lincoln School was constructed across the street from the original Lincoln School. The second Lincoln School was demolished in 2005, and the third Lincoln School built in its place and currently occupies 2 entire city blocks.
