What a special commencement ceremony! Thank you to our Honor Guard participants, graduation planners, speakers, and everyone else who helped make yesterday possible. Class of 2025, you will be missed at Livingston Academy, but we know you will continue to make us proud each and every day.
Thursday's Senior Signing and Final Walk events were, as always, an emotional experience for all in attendance. Livingston Academy seniors had the opportunity to publicly announce their plans following high school, be that the military, higher education, or the workforce. Each declaration was met with an uproarious applause from a crowd of faculty, family, and friends. This was followed by one last walk through the LA hallways, as seniors got the chance to say goodbye to the building and the people within it. Here's to you, Class of 2025! See you at graduation!

Congratulations to our Week 24 attendance winners: Kenlee Thompson, Josiah Sommerfeld, Carter Hall, and Pilot Bowman!
The Livingston Academy Senior Seminar classes began their Adulting 101 unit today, with Vice Principal Brandon Cross teaching all things auto. Students observed demonstrations of oil checks, brake inspections, and tire changes– and even got the chance to try it themselves. This multi-week course will feature a new guest speaker at each meeting, including culinary arts and budgeting with the UT Extension office, banking and loans with First National Bank, online scams with the Middle Tennessee Credit Union, taxes with Emma Cannon of James F. Scarlett Accounting, and insurance with Farm Bureau Tennessee. Thank you to teachers Sara Greenwood, Lauren Coffman, Lora Clouse, and Dee Smith for organizing this excellent slate of contributors. We are honored to work with our students in preparation for their life after school and can’t wait to share more in the coming weeks.
