A Lion’s Pride

With pride, you have strength you never thought of.
With pride, you can do things you thought you couldn’t do.
With pride, you have no limitations.
For pride does not think you can’t – pride thinks you can.

News and Information

New Name, Same Tradition

In April 2008, the Polk County School Board voted unanimously to change our name from Lime Street Elementary to Philip O’Brien Elementary in honor of the faithful and dedicated service of Mr. Philip O’Brien, our principal for over 25 years.   Even though we have a new name, we continue to carry on the same tradition of student excellence on our campus.
