WCCS is excited to welcome Bekah Longenbaugh, our new 5th Grade Teacher at Northern Heights Elementary! She's not new to WCCS, she taught last year as part of our Student-Teacher Residency program.
Bekah is a Columbia City native and a Grace College graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education. She brings a love for learning, strong relationships, and a heart for helping students grow. At home, she enjoys life with her husband, Brooks, and their dog, Max. She’s also a big fan of Gone With the Wind, Pillars of the Earth, and anything historical fiction.
Her advice for students this year is simple and meaningful:
“Before anything else, be kind.”
And if you ever need a treat idea, Bekah loves iced coffee and anything chocolate!
We’re thrilled to have her at Northern Heights Elementary!

If the air temperature remains at -10 degrees Fahrenheit or colder at 8:30 a.m., then school may be closed depending upon road conditions.
