| History of LMS |
In the early 1900s, elementary grade classes in Livingston were held in a four-room
building at Livingston Academy. These classes were under the guidance of the
Christian Women's Board of Missions.
In 1924 a new grammar school building was erected on the north side of University
Street and Roberts Street. At that time the school was still under the supervision of
the Livingston Academy principal, but after several years its management was
turned over to the board of education of the town of Livingston.
Overton County obtained the title to the grammar school in 1925 through exchange
of property. In 1947 the school was renovated at a cost of $80,000. In 1951
Overton County purchased Livingston Elementary School from the town of
Livingston for $30,000.
A new school was built on the present property in 1966. When county
consolidation of schools took place in 1988, Livingston Elementary became
Livingston Middle School serving students in grades five through eight. The
building was renovated again in 2001.
Those serving as principal from 1935 to present are Forest Stockton, Lee Wiggins,
William E. Smith, Evie Tucker, Clyde McDonald, Ewing S. Weakley, J. A. Thrasher,
Thomas H. Parrigin, Michael Garrett, Melinda Beaty, Randall Dial, and Rick Moles.
