Annual Report

At Longview Public Schools, providing a safe, welcoming place to learn is a top priority. Safety begins with prevention — creating positive school environments where students feel connected to teachers and classmates. When schools are seen as a place where students belong, they thrive.

Staff and students are trained to “see something, say something,” and when concerns arise, we use a comprehensive threat assessment system that brings together law enforcement, counselors, teachers, mental health professionals, and parents to keep students safe.

We are proud of our strong partnerships with the Longview Police Department and Cowlitz County Sheriff’s Office. Both R. A. Long and Mark Morris high schools have School Resource Officers on campus, and local law enforcement trains in our schools so they are prepared if an emergency ever occurs.

Thanks to voter approval of the 2022 replacement Capital Projects and Technology Levy, we are funding important school safety upgrades — including security cameras, property access controls and improved communication tools — that keep students and staff protected every day.

Together, with your support, we are focused on keeping Longview schools as safe, welcoming places for every child to learn and grow.

When Longview students succeed, our community grows stronger. Career & Technical Education (CTE) is one of the ways we prepare students for success beyond high school — whether that means entering the workforce, continuing their education, or a combination of both.

In CTE classrooms, learning comes to life. Students weld, cook, design, code, and explore healthcare skills in hands-on settings that mirror real-world environments. They don’t just study concepts — they practice them, gaining confidence and discovering how their interests connect to future opportunities.

When students graduate ready to work, ready to learn, and ready to contribute, the whole community benefits.

Thanks to the continued support of our community, Longview Public Schools is fortunate to have voter-approved funding through the 2022 replacement Capital Projects and Technology Levy. This levy allows us to focus on improving and maintaining our facilities, ensuring they remain safe, functional, and conducive to learning. Our efforts center on four key priorities:

1. Extending the life of our buildings through necessary repairs and upgrades.
2. Enhancing the classroom environment to better support student success.
3. Improving safety and security throughout our campuses.
4. Upgrading athletic fields and facilities to meet the needs of our students.

Phases one, two and three of the Memorial Stadium Modernization project are now complete, featuring a new turf field for soccer and football, an upgraded running track, enhanced shot put and pole vault areas, a state-of-the-art scoreboard and a modernized stadium grandstand facility. These upgrades improve the experience for athletes, students, and fans alike. We would like to thank our community’s ongoing support in these updates!
