Longfellow is home to 57 military families, all of whom come with a unique set of circumstances. We have now achieved The Distinguished Purple Star Award, for excellence in establishing a school culture dedicated to meeting the transitional needs of military connected students.

What began in 1946 as 120 music directors meeting for six hours in a Chicago YWCA gym has now become the annual four-day music band and orchestra conference known as The Midwest Clinic International Band, Orchestra and Music Conference. For over 70 years, musicians, educators and people passionate about music education of all skill levels have gathered in Chicago for the largest music conference of its kind.

Cooper Middle School and Longfellow Middle School are among nine schools statewide to earn the 2017 Governor’s Award for Educational Excellence, the highest recognition in the Virginia Index of Performance (VIP) awards for advanced learning and achievement. Fairfax County Public Schools is one of 15 divisions to earn the 2017 Virginia Board of Education Distinguished Achievement Award.
