Motto
E3: Expect Excellence Everyday!
School Creed
I have only just a minute, only sixty seconds in it, forced upon me, can’t refuse it, didn’t seek it, didn’t choose it, but it’s up to me to use it. I must suffer if I lose it, give account if I abuse it. It’s only just a minute but eternity is in it. (Benjamin E Mays)

History
Seaborn Lee Elementary School was dedicated in November, 1970. The school was built on twenty acres of land donated to the Fulton County Board of Education by the family of Dr. Seaborn Lee, a prominent local physician in the early 1900s. The school contained grades one through seven and had twelve classrooms. In 1972, twelve additional classrooms and an enlarged media center were completed. Kindergarten was added in 1979. Six years later when the sixth and seventh graders were moved to Camp Creek Middle School, a K-5 organizational pattern was formed. In 2003, Seaborn Lee has 25 general education classes, two full time special needs classrooms, an art, music, and physical education teachers on staff.
