Growing up in Livingston, I have always been excited to go to high school here. I love the school and having the incredible staff and administration ready to help the students with whatever they need is very comforting. I am excited to embark on my next journey in college, but I will without a doubt miss this school and will never forget my experiences here. Students are able to feel truly connected to their teachers and are given many opportunities!

I am very privileged to live in Livingston and especially attend the Livingston High School. Despite having a reputation of awful diversity and a very segregated school of Asians and Whites, the resources available for us to be successful are very helpful. However, there is no one side of the school. The school has very amazing teachers who deserve so much respect with their willingness to help students, but sadly it also has teachers who are very hypocritical- asking for respect from student yet are very disrespectful (usually the ones with tenure contracts). Especially coming from a student who moved from a different country, it is obvious that students who are born and raised in Livingston or around Livingston tend to display a very narrow-minded mind. It's sad to see how they perceive everything being around them.
I had a great time at Livingston Senior High School and thought the school did a good job of creating a friendly environment for everyone, providing quality education as well as technology, and ensuring the welfare of everyone. However, the school could have improved on helping students get ready for the college application process, in particular improving the rapport between the high school guidance counselors and the students, and the school needs different people at the upper level of the administration.
