Welcome to Dr. Charles T. Lunsford School No. 19
 
It is our vision at Dr. Charles T. Lunsford School No. 19 to continually challenge our students to meet and/or exceed their learning potential by providing relevant and engaging instruction including NYS Standards, best practice initiatives, and the America's Choice/Rochester Instructional Framework Model.
 
It is our mission at Dr. Charles T. Lunsford School No. 19 to create a school climate that is safe and nurturing so students can grow as strategic thinkers and learners who will possess the skills necessary for success at the secondary level, as productive citizens, and as future leaders.
 
At Dr. Charles T. Lunsford School No. 19, we believe elementary school lays the foundation for future academic success and that children flourish in a nurturing and safe environment. At School No. 19, every child contributes to his or her own education and the learning experience of others. Our delivery of instruction encourages students to be risk takers, free thinkers, team players, and active participants in the community. The staff makes a positive difference in the life and development of every child. We believe that together we can foster a school climate where staff and students celebrate learning, growing, and the feeling of family.
