SUFFOLK COUNTY · LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK
“Every One… Every Day”
Longwood is more than a school district. It is a community promise. From our youngest learners in Pre-Kindergarten to our graduating seniors stepping into the world, we ensure that every child feels seen, supported, and prepared for the life they choose to build.
The Longwood Central School District serves one of the most diverse communities on Long Island, spanning nine neighborhoods across central Brookhaven. We believe difference is a strength, and that a great education is not a privilege but a right.
Our mission is straightforward: give every student the knowledge, skills, and confidence to pursue a meaningful and rewarding future, in whatever form that takes.
We carry that mission with Pride, Spirit, and Heart, shared by students, staff, and leaders across all seven schools.
We educate the whole child: academic excellence, social and emotional well-being, creativity, and continuous individual development. This balanced approach is what makes Longwood a special place to learn and grow.
Dr. Lance Lohman, Superintendent of SchoolsFrom a first day of Pre-Kindergarten to a high school graduation stage, every Longwood student grows through a connected community of schools, and out into whatever comes next.
Every student deserves a personalized roadmap, not a one-size-fits-all diploma. Beginning in ninth grade, students explore their interests and build a customized College and Career Pathway. Juniors and seniors pursue an Academy track, graduating with real credentials, real credits, and real options. We call it being First-Choice Ready.
Students learn vehicle systems hands-on, from engines and brakes to electrical, working the real roles of a service shop and earning college credit toward automotive careers.

The promise of a Longwood education shows up in what our students earn, achieve, and carry forward.
From the Early College High School program to a Part 107 drone-pilot pathway, Longwood students leave high school with a head start and a plan.

More than a motto. Seven shared principles that define how everyone at Longwood shows up, every single day.
Longwood is home to one of Long Island’s most diverse school communities, with roots in 60 countries and families speaking 31 languages. We honor that as a strength, and we build for it on purpose.
Through our My Brother’s Keeper and My Sister’s Keeper initiatives, students find mentorship, belonging, leadership, and opportunity. And through our unified sports and, now, robotics programs, students of all abilities play, build, and compete side by side.
Our Seal of Civic Readiness and annual Legislative Day connect more than 1,300 high school students with government leaders, because Longwood’s next civic leaders are already in our classrooms.
Whether you are a new family, a community partner, a prospective employee, or a lifelong resident, there is a place for you here.
