Bloomington Lincoln High School

In 1918, Bloomington, Minnesota opened its first secondary school, Bloomington High School at 10025 Penn Ave. S., with the school remaining at this location until a new building opened in the fall of 1957. The new Bloomington High School at (8900 Queen Ave. S.), with the adjacent Bloomington Stadium, was renamed Abraham Lincoln Senior High School in 1965 when a second high school, John F. Kennedy Senior High School opened. The original location was known as the "annex", served as the tenth grade school for 1000 sophomores prior to the second high school. Robert Vinatieri was the tenth grade principal.

The school's mascot of Bloomington HS and Lincoln HS was the Bears. School colors were green and white, with gold.
