Overview
- Milwaukee Public Schools announced July 10 that Lincoln Avenue School will relocate to Casimir Pulaski High School at 25th Street and Oklahoma Avenue for the coming school year.
- District leaders and Principal Damaris Ayala said Pulaski was chosen because it can house the whole Lincoln community in one building and already supports two separate schools with distinct offices, stairwells and classroom spaces.
- The June 30 five‑alarm fire heavily damaged the century‑old Lincoln Avenue School, leaving the building a total loss that officials say will need demolition while fire investigators continue to determine the cause.
- MPS reviewed multiple options with the Lincoln School Engagement Council and families before the decision and will hold community meetings next week to share operational details such as entrances, cafeterias, schedules and bussing.
- District officials say no vacant MPS buildings are available on the south side and that the Pulaski move preserves continuity for students and staff while longer‑term decisions about the damaged site and recovery are worked out.
