🔶🔷 Throwback Thursday – Ryan Hill 🔷🔶 Once a Bulldog, Always a Bulldog! 📅 Class of 2005 💼 Now: IT Manager / Sr. Network Tech Favorite Memory: Homeroom in Mr. Snyder’s room. Why he loves working here: “Despite popular belief, I wasn’t a top student. I succeeded because the staff at Livonia genuinely cared and invested in me. I am grateful for the opportunity to return and contribute to the District, giving back to the staff who supported me and helped me succeed, while also supporting our student population.” Thank you, Ryan, for being a Bulldog who gives back! 🐾💙 #ThrowbackThursday #OnceABulldogAlwaysABulldog

🔶🔷 Throwback Thursday – Megan Normann 🔷🔶 Once a Bulldog, Always a Bulldog! 💙🧡🐾 A proud member of the Class of 2014, Megan Normann is back at Livonia — this time as an English teacher! She primarily teaches English 9 and 9 Honors, and is the co-advisor of National Honor Society. Megan has also run Greek Mythology summer enrichment camps and served as a class advisor. 💬 "From the moment I left Livonia's halls, my goal was always to come back. I have never experienced a school with such a tightly-knit sense of community, or with teachers and administrators who care so deeply about their students. Many people want to run away from their high schools, but I think this series is showing that Livonia is pretty remarkable in the way it makes everyone want to return and carry on its core values. The small-town vibe might not be for everyone, but as a student, I always appreciated how it allowed me to feel seen and supported by my teachers. Now, as a teacher myself, I also see the vast number of opportunities Livonia works to provide for its students despite being seen as such a small school. Livonia is truly a special place, filled with exceptional people who shaped me into the student, person, and now teacher that I am. I can't thank the teachers here enough for the impact they've had on my life. I'm honored to now call them my coworkers and friends, and I can only hope to have the same kind of impact on my own students that they have had on me." We’re so proud to have you on the team, Miss Normann! Thank you for continuing the Bulldog tradition of excellence and heart. 💙
