A record number of schools applied for NSOC recognition. In this time of very tough competition, Long stood out like a shining star! |
Congratulations to the staff, students and parents of Long Elementary School! Long was named a National School of Character (NSOC)! Following an extensive application process and intense site visits, the visiting team commended Long, stating: In a region and district known for strong character education programs, Long stands out as a leader. The school is held in high esteem not only by parents but also by the local community and surrounding school districts. Long teachers frequently model best practices in presentations to other schools. Through modeling, effective lesson planning, and consistency of purpose, all staff members at Long have integrated character into every corner of the school. Students learn conflict resolution and empathy through the use of "I Care Language." Through a school-wide focus on service learning, students learn to identify needs and develop projects to meet those needs.
