Abraham Lincoln High School was established on Tuesday, August 27, 1940, accepting approximately 950 students under principal Clyde W. White. Its opening and dedication ceremony was held on September 22, 1940. ALHS is a "westside" school along with Lowell High School and George Washington High School. In the center of the Sunset District, ALHS occupies four city blocks demarcated by the intersections of Quintara Street and Santiago Street and 22nd Avenue and 24th Avenue. The school is located near the Sunset Reservoir, which supplies water for the Sunset district and serves as a rectangular, city block track for physical education, and directly north of McCoppin Square, the Taraval Police Station, and the Parkside branch of the San Francisco Public Library. A 1938 bond issue, approved by San Francisco voters to address the increasing population in the Western San Francisco area, financed the incorporation of ALHS with a three story building of 50 classrooms, library, and cafeteria as well as a football field, costing over $750,000 in 1940 (adjusted for 2005 dollars, over $10 million). Additions such as the North and South Gymnasiums, the auditorium, and the "New Building" expansion were completed later. ALHS has been the beneficiary of the Prop A Bond work for remodeling and renovation. The site has been fully updated for the Americans with Disabilities Act. In 2020 the San Francisco School Renaming Panel argued that Abraham Lincoln, the school's namesake, had treated Native Americans very poorly, and therefore, the school should no longer have his name. Mayor of San Francisco London Breed criticized the renaming proposal, arguing that there were more important tasks to focus on during the COVID 19 pandemic. A video recording of the meeting does not show that the committee discussed the proposal to rename Lincoln. The school board dropped the plan to rename the school.

Abraham Lincoln High School is a comprehensive school that does not require special applications, testing, or auditions for admission. As with all SFUSD schools, Lincoln's admissions are affected by the "diversity index", which considers factors such as socioeconomic status, academic achievement, parents' educational background, and the API score of the sending school. For the 2017–2018 school year, ALHS was the second most requested high school in the district, after Lowell. 34% (1,548) of all applicants requested Lowell as a 1st choice, and 19% (868) requested Lincoln.

The first Star Trek convention in Northern California was held at Lincoln in 1975. The main entrance of ALHS is portrayed as Elmore Junior High School in the British American animated sitcom The Amazing World of Gumball.

ALHS has over 40 clubs and student organizations, including Mock Trial, Drama and Tech, Improv, UNICEF, Chess, GSA (Gender Sexuality Alliance), Surf, Rowing, KPOP, Glee, JROTC (Color Guard, Drum Corps, Exhibition and Flag and Exhibition Drill Teams), Black Student Union, Korean, Japanese Culture, and FilAm (Filipino American). ALHS has made charitable contributions and ran charitable campaigns, with annual drives for organizations such as the San Francisco Food Bank and Salvation Army. In 2004, the San Francisco Food Bank recognized ALHS for collecting the most food out of all San Francisco schools. Also, that year, students raised $10,000 in the wake of the 2004 Asian tsunami.

ALHS fields varsity teams in baseball, basketball, cheerleading, cross country, fencing, football, golf, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, volleyball, and wrestling. ALHS also offers track and field, badminton, softball, weightlifting, and girls' flag football. Additionally, ALHS has several athletic and sports clubs, including archery, cycling, and dragon boat.

Established in 1996, the ALHS co ed dragon boat team is one of the largest in the Bay Area. The ALHS dragon boat team won the World Championship title at the 11th International Dragon Boat Federation (IDBF) Club Crew World Championship Races in Szeged, Hungary, in July 2018.
