Greetings S. P. Livingston Friends, Families, and Community Stakeholders,

I am super excited to welcome you to the 2026-2027 School Year. This will be my fourth year as the principal at S. P. Livingston. Our “Growth S.T.E.M.s From Here” theme is in full effect as we celebrate being a “C” school after earning academic growth of 109 percentage points. We are committed to building on that momentum with instructional excellence, structured systems, and world class service.

Your student is at the center of everything that we do. It is our responsibility to provide educational experiences and learning environments that contribute to the making of a well-rounded citizen with strategies that unlock potential. One plants, one waters, and another gives the increase. Together, working as a team, the results are limitless, and, I dare to believe, remarkable.

Parents and Partners, we need you! The team will be more successful with the support of our most valuable players – YOU. Parents, please be sure you are an approved volunteer to be able to assist in classrooms, around the campus, and attend field trips (http://www.duvalschools.org/volunteer).

Let us till the ground, sow good seeds, and reap the harvest.

So Ready to Serve,

Barbara Sims, Principal
