The involvement of parents and local community leaders and businesses nurture the growth and excellence of any public school. A good school has the potential to be great because of parent volunteers. J.L.Long has been fortunate to benefit from the activities of the following organizations:

PTA

The Parent Teacher Association at J.L. Long is a strong, active, innovative force that links the school and the community. The PTA sponsors many activities such as the Fun Run, Teacher Appreciation Days, Sports Banquet, and the Yearbook. PTA assists in raising funds to benefit the needs of the students. Many parents volunteer their time throughout the school year. Meetings are held on the first Thursday of each month at 7:00pm.

SBDM

The Site Based Decision Making Committee consists of representatives from the faculty, staff, parents, and community. Decisions concerning policy guidelines, school programs, budget, staff and instruction are made collaboratively among the council to improve the school. The SBDM team meets the first Tuesday of each month at 6:00pm.

Our Purpose:
"To provide and support a safe environment for learning (academics) and good citizenship (character education) to take place among the students, staff, and parents and and to embrace the diversity of our people."
