About Washington Elementary

Happy 20th Anniversary Washington!

George Washington Elementary School in Norman, Oklahoma was built in 1989. Students first attended classes during the 1990/91 school year under the direction of Dr. Christie Seely- Washington's first principal. There were 17 teachers and 327 students that first year. A few principals and many changes would follow.  

Currently, Washington has just over 600 students and a staff of 42 teachers and support personnel.  Dr. Linda Parsons, our principal, has been at Washington since August of 2003.  Assistant Vice Principal, Dr. Cindy Taylor,  came to us in the Fall of 2008.

Located on the east side of Norman in a beautiful rural setting, Washington draws students from a large boundary area. The school has a very active PTA that supports the students and staff with gifts of their time, talents, and money. The staff prides itself on a philosophy of being child centered with high expectations for themselves and the students. Student learning focuses on the Oklahoma P.A.S.S. document and Norman's Articulated Curriculum, and is enriched with fieldtrips, guest artists and speakers, student performances, service learning projects, and other enrichment activities.
