Longfellow Elementary School Overview
     Longfellow Elementary's motto is "Where Soaring Eagles Dare to Dream." 
Our school community, which includes staff, students, parents, community 
members and business partners, celebrates diversity and emphasizes 
collaboration. Our school takes great pride in our diverse student body 
and rich school history. Longfellow was one of the first schools built in 
Columbia, and continues to be a school where students are eager to learn 
each and every day. Our students know that a committed and dedicated 
staff awaits them to guide and nurture them to great academic and social 
heights. This warm and welcoming atmosphere encourages our parents 
and community to participate in all aspects of our school program. Our 
very active PTA provides cultural arts programs, charity drives, and 
volunteers within our classrooms on a regular basis.
