Houston Independent School District. Retrieved on April 1, 2010.〕 The original campus had three stories.〔Martin, Betty L. "(Gregory-Lincoln replacement facility opens )." ''Houston Chronicle''. Wednesday January 2, 2008. Retrieved on October 20, 2011.〕 In the school's history it received enrollment decreases, particularly when the population decreased from 900 students in the 2000-2001 period to about 700 students in the 2004-2005 period.〔 In 2000,〔 the district announced that Gregory-Lincoln would receive a new campus that would be on the site of the old campus. Initially HISD planned to locate the HSPVA High Schoolfor the Performing and Visual Arts on the same site. Rumors of an American Civil War grave site prevented any development for several years.〔Plocek, Keith. "On Shaky Grounds." ''Houston Press''. December 30, 2004. (1 ). Retrieved on November 23, 2009.〕 In 2006 Houston ISD did not find any new grave sites and started development of Gregory-Lincoln. () The new Gregory-Lincoln campus was scheduled to be completed by 2008.〔 () The development attracted controversy since it used eminent domain to seize property owned by existing residents, even though some residents expressed a reluctance to have their property seized. Betty L. Martin of the ''Houston Chronicle'' said that some of the properties were "reputed to be of historical significance."〔 The current $13.5 million, school building was financed by the $808.6 million 2002 Rebuild HISD bond. On Monday, December 31, 2007, the two story current Gregory Lincoln building opened. As of January 2008 it has about 500 students. The demolition of the original campus was scheduled to begin in January 2008. The district planned to grade the land and place an athletic field for middle school students and a playground for elementary school students. The new school building includes digital ceiling-mounted projectors in the classrooms.〔 As a result of the closing of J. Will Jones Elementary School,〔"(J. Will Jones Elementary Attendance Zone )."

Smith Education Center, Gregory-Lincoln's middle school boundary had an increase in territory in Downtown Houston.〔"(E.O. Smith Middle Attendance Zone )." ''Houston Independent School District''.
