Est. 199630 Years of Lorraine Lions
A Strong Pride. From our first day in 1996 to the 2026–27 school year, here's how the Lorraine Elementary community has grown — and where we're heading next.
A brief history
Lorraine Elementary has been a cornerstone of Stockbridge and Rockdale County for nearly three decades. What began as a new school with a lion mascot has grown into a community of families, teachers, and neighbors who show up for one another every day.
The PTO formed to support the same values students live in the classroom: be Respectful, Organized for success, Actively engaged, and Responsible citizens. Over the years, that mission has translated into funded classroom resources, teacher appreciation, family events, and the spirit wear that turns our hallways gold and navy.
From 1996 to now
Decades of learning, growing, and roaring together — a few of the moments that made Lorraine Elementary what it is today.
Lorraine Elementary opens
Lorraine Elementary opened its doors in Stockbridge, Georgia, serving Rockdale County families with a new home for the Lions.
A growing Pride
Enrollment and community support grew through the decade. The PTO began organizing its first family events, laying the groundwork for the traditions we still celebrate today.
Traditions take shape
Events like the Fun Run, Donuts with Dad, and Trunk or Treat became annual favorites. Teachers and families built a culture built on the ROAR code — Respectful, Organized, Actively engaged, Responsible.
Resilience and return
The Lorraine community adapted to new ways of learning, then roared back together — stronger, more connected, and ready for the next chapter.
Georgia Literacy Leader School
Named a 2025 Literacy Leader School by the Georgia Department of Education, recognized for outstanding reading growth and student success.
