West End of Santa Rosa: Lincoln School 100 Years Later

Santa Rosa Historical Preservation: Lincoln School in the West End Neighborhood turns 100 this year, celebrating it's centennial

West End Lincoln School’s Centennial Chapter: Preserving History, Fostering Community, and Celebrating Achievements

Have you ever walked past that magnificent faded yellow building on 709 Davis Street, in Santa Rosa’s West End neighborhood? Its warm red trim and ornate architectural details hint at a rich history and a legacy that spans a century. This iconic structure is none other than Lincoln School, an educational institution deeply woven into the fabric of the community. As we commemorate the Lincoln School’s centennial, we delve into its rich past, embrace its vibrant present, and envision a future filled with promise.

Preserving Local History and Upholding the Legacy

Since its initial incarnation and establishment in 1885, Lincoln School has been committed to educational excellence. Lincoln School, was Santa Rosa’s second elementary school, and the West End neighborhood’s answer to and overcrowded Fourth St. School.  From the ringing of the big bell in its early days to the present, the school has nurtured curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking among its students. Each passing year, each graduating class adds a new chapter to the legacy of Lincoln School.

Lincoln School, with its Spanish Revival architecture designed by William W. Weeks in 1923, stands as a tangible connection to Santa Rosa’s vibrant, and sometimes, not so vibrant past and cultural heritage. This “new” building serves as a reminder of a bygone era, showcasing the artistic elegance of the 1920s. Preserving the Lincoln School building is about more than maintaining an old structure; it is safeguarding the threads of history woven into its walls. Each brick, corridor, and classroom carries a story—a story of young minds discovering the joy of learning, of educators dedicated to nurturing those minds, and of a community evolving together.

Lincoln School’s centennial celebration is a remarkable occasion that goes beyond marking the passage of time. It serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving local history and upholding the legacy of this esteemed educational institution. From its inception as the second elementary school in Santa Rosa to its transformation into Lincoln School, this building has been an integral part of the community’s educational landscape. It has witnessed the growth and evolution of the entire region for one hundred years now.

Lincoln School’s Role in Student Well Being and Heritage Preservation

Lincoln School has nurtured generations of students, fostering a love for knowledge, and providing a strong foundation for their future endeavors.

One such alumni, Heidi Meyer, who attended from 1960 until 1966, not only remembers her time there,but recalls each of her teachers, as well as the principal’s name. She told me, “It was nearly all women instructors at Lincoln, and they were old school, too. Not mean, just strict about education” Most of her memories about the neighborhood pertained to the influence of “Little Italy,” however, she recalled something her fifth grade teacher, the only male, Mr. Burt shared, “We were told that our school on Davis Street was being condemned and would be torn down so a new grammar school could be built.”

I can only imagine that this upset many students and their families, as a school has the ability to become, not only an important facet to one’s life, but a cornerstone of our past. Fortunately, it was never abandoned or razed, and The Abraham Lincoln Elementary School, located at 850 West Ninth, didn’t open until 1980.

Another local, Mr. Herman Schultz, who attended 1st grade at Lincoln Elementary in 1945, doesn’t recall terribly much, as he only spent the first half of his year there, tells me, “I was there long enough to take a class photo, and I’m the one with the crazy hair!” Though not a long stint, the treasure of any such photographs are warmly received.

Uncovering stories, listening to memories, and preserving local history is an essential act of safeguarding the collective heritage of Santa Rosa, ensuring that future generations can appreciate and learn from the past. By upholding the legacy of Lincoln School, we reinforce the values of community, education, and excellence that have shaped this institution over the past century.

Cultivating a Connected West End Spirit

For over a century, Lincoln School has acted as a unifying force, nurturing a strong sense of community spirit. Its establishment in the late 19th century marked a collective effort to meet the town’s need for public education. From its early days, 1885, as West School, then Davis Street School, and finally Lincoln School, this institution has been more than just a place of learning; it has been a gathering place for students, parents, educators, and residents alike. Countless friendships have been forged within its walls. Lasting memories have been created on it’s playgrounds. Lives have been inspired from the front of it’s classrooms. As we celebrate the Lincoln School centennial, we reflect on the shared stories and cherished moments that have shaped the school’s vibrant community spirit.

It also, quite literally, fostered a connection to spirit, too. For a brief time, the building was used for other ventures. One such being a Christian commune in the 1970’s, before, ultimately finding its path back to the education circuit.

Lincoln School’s Continued Relevance and Impact

Lincoln School’s legacy of educational excellence and community engagement lives on through its current iteration. In an interview with Kathleen Mallamo, Principal and Executive Director of the now Kids Street Charter School (KSCS), we gain valuable insights into their commitment to providing a holistic and nurturing educational experience.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Mrs. Mallamo, who shared her deep appreciation for the historic building and the transformative impact it has on the lives of the children who walk through its doors. Within the framework of the school’s motto, “Teach to the Heart and the Mind will Follow,” Mrs. Mallamo emphasized their focus on addressing the hierarchy of needs, ensuring that students have a solid foundation for learning and growth.

At KSCS, they take pride in offering not only academic support but also essential services that contribute to the overall well-being of their students. Mrs. Mallamo highlighted the school’s commitment to providing free homemade food prepared by real cooks, a free after-school program, and a clothing program. Moreover, they prioritize mental and emotional well-being, working closely with students to ensure they feel supported and cared for in their educational journey.

The impact of KSCS extends beyond the classroom walls. Mrs. Mallamo envisions a West End where the next generations grow up feeling safe, where children can confidently walk to and from school, and engage in play until the street lamps illuminate the neighborhood. By fostering a sense of security and belonging, KSCS plays a crucial role in shaping a vibrant and interconnected community.

One Hundred Years and Going Strong

As we honor the Lincoln School centennial, it is inspiring to witness how the legacy of this historic building continues to evolve and adapt to the changing needs of Santa Rosa’s young learners. KSCS focuses on STEAM education and holistic support, creating an environment where students can thrive academically, emotionally, and socially.

The continued relevance of Lincoln School is a testament to its enduring impact on the lives of individuals, families, and the community as a whole. Through the dedication of Mrs. Mallamo, her caring and supportive staff, and the collaboration of parents and community members, Kids Street Charter School ensures that the spirit of Lincoln School lives on, providing a nurturing educational experience that prepares students for a bright future.

Envisioning the future of Lincoln School, we are reminded of the powerful role it plays in shaping future generations. With its continued commitment to education, safety, and holistic support, Lincoln School remains a cornerstone of the community, empowering young learners to reach their full potential and contributing to the thriving and interconnected fabric of the West End Neighborhood.
