Port Townsend High School has five buildings. The three-story Main Building houses classrooms on the 3rd floor, offices on the 2nd, and lunch areas on the 1st. The two-story Annex Building houses mostly math/science classes, and some English classes. The one-room Art Portable houses art classes. The one-story Gymnasium houses physical education.

Named for the former U.S. president, Port Townsend’s Lincoln School, which is on the Port Townsend High School campus, was completed in 1892. It was originally a three-story building with a tower and bell. The third story was deemed unsafe and removed when a wind of hurricane force blew off the roof in 1934. The building later fell short of the fire code requirements and was closed in 1980.
