Welcome to EJ Harrington Elementary School

At EJ Harrington Elementary School, we believe that every child brings unique strengths, stories, and potential to our community. As principal, I am honored to lead a school where diversity is celebrated, language is embraced, and learning is designed to meet the needs of all students.

Our school is proud to offer a Dual Language Program in grades PK-5, where students grow in both English and Spanish, building biliteracy, bilingualism, and cultural pride. Alongside our dual language classrooms, we provide general education programs and small group learning classrooms that ensure every child receives the support and challenge they need to thrive.

We recognize that families are our most important partners. By working together—students, families, and staff—we create a learning environment where every child feels valued, respected, and empowered to reach their fullest potential.

As Nelson Mandela once said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” At Harrington, we know that when children are nurtured, challenged, and celebrated, they will grow into compassionate, capable leaders of tomorrow.

We invite you to join us in this work—celebrating each child’s journey, honoring every culture and language, and building a community of lifelong learners.

With pride and partnership,

Lissa Jussaume
