About Longfellow Elementary
Founded in 1887, Longfellow Elementary is the oldest school in Hastings and has proudly served generations of students and families. Located in the heart of the community, Longfellow serves approximately 300 students in kindergarten through fifth grade.
At Longfellow, we believe in helping every student grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Through our character education program, students are encouraged to demonstrate respect, responsibility, compassion, and integrity in all they do. This commitment to character development has earned Longfellow national recognition in 2001 and 2019.
As a school-wide Title I building, Longfellow provides support and opportunities to help every student succeed. Our dedicated staff, students, and families work together to create a welcoming environment where children develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to become successful learners and responsible citizens.
Thanks to the support of the Hastings community, who approved the bond to renovate our historic 92-year-old building, Longfellow students and staff moved into a fully renovated, state-of-the-art school in 2020. We are proud to honor our rich history while continuing to provide a modern learning environment for future generations of Leopards.
