Thank you to GEAR UP Tennessee Executive Director Dr. Frank Tittle for visiting with our freshman class today to speak about his program's exciting opportunities for Overton County students and the important role in which they will play in its development.

This morning, LA's student body lined the halls as our cheerleaders, dance team, and band marched the Wildcat wrestlers through the building and onto the bus for the state tournament. We know these athletes will make us proud!

Due to a countywide water emergency and a current boil water mandate, Overton County Schools will be closed on Thursday, February 5 and Friday, February 6.
At this time, portions of Overton County are already without water, and officials have indicated that other areas may lose water as well while crews work to locate and repair leaks in the system. Because schools cannot safely operate without reliable access to potable water for drinking, food preparation, restrooms, and sanitation, this closure is necessary to ensure the health and safety of our students and staff.
We understand the inconvenience this may cause for families, especially following recent weather-related closures. Please know this decision was made in close coordination with local officials and out of an abundance of caution.
We will continue to monitor the situation closely and communicate updates regarding school operations as more information becomes available.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support as we prioritize the safety of our school community.

Overton County Schools will be 2 hours late with bus driver discretion tomorrow, Wednesday, February 4, 2026.

Check out the pop-up Hogeye Market at tonight's basketball game, where students in Miss Stover and Crabtree's class will be selling Livingston Academy merchandise. They will be located next to the gym doors and open at 5:30 (cash and checks only, please).

Congratulations to Livingston Academy senior softball player Bailey Hutchison, who signed with Motlow State Community College today. Pictured with Bailey are her LA softball teammates and coaches.
