Livingston High School 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony - 2024

Livingston High School, along with the Livingston Independent School District, is dedicated to remembering the events of September 11, 2001 and those who lost their lives on that horrific day. LHS Sophomore, Edward Turk, reads:
"On Sept. 11, 2001, in an unforgivable and horrific attack, terrorists robbed America of more than 3,000 lives. Quite simply, Sept. 11, 2001, wounded our nation in a way we had not known since the shock of Pearl Harbor.
In bringing down the World Trade Center, damaging the Pentagon and downing an airliner in a Pennsylvania field, the day ranks as the most devastating in our nation’s history. We vowed we would not forget. Hundreds of families still suffer today with gaping holes as a result of this incident. A mother, a father, a brother, a child is no longer among them. Along with these loved ones, more than 300 emergency-service workers perished in the attacks. Their survivors live with the pain of Sept. 11 daily.
Even as we gather to remember those lost in the attacks, America’s military is tracking down terrorists and securing liberty at home and abroad. Along with our elected officials and our intelligence agencies, they are tasked with preventing another tragedy of that magnitude.
We are indebted to them for their willingness to protect our country. God bless our armed forces and first responders."
We'd like to thank Edward Turk, Elijah James, Associate Principal Justin Turbeville, Principal Dr. Derrick James, the LHS Choir, and the LHS Navy JROTC for taking part in this year's 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony.
