Dear Spartans

Academic Letters

This week, we distributed over 35 Academic Letters to our Spartans. To earn an Academic Letter, students must earn a minimum of a 3.5 GPA in four (4) semesters.

Great job Spartans!

Student Spotlight

Congrats to Mykola H.

The Livonia Career Technical Center staff selected Mykola as a Livonia Rotary Vocational student award recipient. The Livonia Rotary Club will honor three Livonia Career Technical Center students with exemplary work skills and outstanding character traits this year. The Rotary Vocational Service student award is given to Livonia High School students who are committed to learning vocational employment skills while completing their academic education. It is for students who demonstrate honesty in work, life, and school. It is for students who can lead and be a part of a work team where the team's needs come before the personal needs of the leaders. It is for students who practice the Rotary 4 -Way Test concepts in their academic life.

SHS Athletic Teams Giving Back

Go Spartans!

Alumni will remember the Stevenson sign that once graced the old auditorium. While the large metal Spartan could not be salvaged during the construction of the new Performing Arts Center, the original lettering has been carefully restored for future generations to enjoy. A heartfelt thank you goes to our Industrial Arts teacher, Mr. Mark Brydan, and class of 2024 Alumni and Student Body President, Drew Buatti, for dedicating their time over the summer to restore and rehang the original letters in the halls of Stevenson.
