Livingston Elementary is
tucked away in the Southwestern portion of Covington, Georgia. What
was once a small rural school has felt the impact of urban sprawl.
Since its founding in 1884, Livingston has undergone constant
transformation. In recent years the rate of change has accelerated.
What was once an agriculturally based community has become one of
manufacturing, service industries, and retail trade.
Livingston includes pre-kindergarten through grade five. For
2010-2011
our enrollment will be approximately 550. We have 38 teachers comprised
of 27 homeroom teachers, a speech teacher, a media specialist,
a
counselor, a PE teacher, an art teacher, a music teacher and 3
resource teachers. Livingston's four-year old pre-kindergarten
program is staffed by two teachers and two paraprofessionals.
Instructional aides assist kindergarten teachers. The school is
administered by a principal and 1 assistant principal. Over half of the faculty has a
Master's or Specialist degree and several teachers are currently
enrolled in graduate programs. With a staff of this size and training,
Livingston is well equipped to provide a quality educational
experience for children with a variety of needs.
Livingston's physical facility is comprised of three corridors
separated by garden areas and a cafeteria. The garden areas which
separate our building halls were both established as a result of
grants applied for and received by two of our faculty members. These
gardens serve not only as aesthetic enhancements but as working
outdoor learning centers for our students.
