Courses

Perspective
Classes are usually approximately an hour in length. Subjects include English, mathematics, science, social science, foreign language, photography, art and band. Regional Occupation Program classes are also available in areas such as medical, business, education and computers. The school provides tutoring to students in need of help for their classes.
Livingston High School also offers Advanced Placement (AP) college-level courses. In the past, any student could register for any AP course. However, in preparation for the coming school year, this policy has changed. Students are now required to sign a contract stating they would not drop any AP class, as well as get permission slips signed by teachers recommending them to a particular AP class. This has caused some stir among the faculty and students. A possible reason for the contract is so teachers don't end up teaching only a few students during a period, since they could be more useful teaching a regular class and cutting down class size on other teachers. The following AP courses are available as of the 2011-2012 school year:
