Message from Principal Dr. Jim Hebeisen
Greetings, Tanglen Community!
As someone who grew up less than five miles from L.H. Tanglen Elementary, I know how important an amazing school can be for community members in the area. You can be proud of the great things happening at Tanglen, and I look forward to sharing with you through updates on this site.
I am extremely impressed with the dedication shown by the staff and the deep sense of pride shown by the families of Tanglen students. As we move boldly into the future, we work as a team to implement well-researched best practices to ensure our school is a terrific place to learn, work, and grow.

As Teddy Roosevelt once said, “Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.”
