Principal’s Message 

What an incredible start we’ve had to the school year! You can feel the energy and enthusiasm in the classrooms, hallways, and on the athletic fields. There’s a strong sense of Bulldog pride and community that’s setting such a positive tone for everything we do. I want to thank our students, staff, and families for your continued support and for helping us kick off this year with so much excitement and momentum.

Our fall sports seasons are off to a great start! It’s been inspiring to watch our student-athletes compete with such passion, teamwork, and determination. The dedication of our coaches and the support from families and fans have made every game, meet, and match something special. The pride in our stands with the Dawg Pound and our community says it all: We truly stand behind our teams. This fall has also been extra exciting as we celebrated the ribbon cuttings for the new Saunders Athletic Complex and the J. David Woodruff Memorial Plaza. These incredible new spaces represent our community’s shared commitment to excellence, opportunity, and honoring those who’ve given so much to Livonia. The ribbon-cutting ceremonies were proud moments that recognized not only the hard work that went into these projects but also the collaboration and community spirit that make our district such a special place. These facilities will serve generations of Bulldogs to come, and it was wonderful to celebrate that milestone together.

A highlight of the season so far was our Homecoming Week celebration. Congratulations to our Student Council and Ms. Cotraccia for organizing such a memorable week of events! For the first time, our Homecoming Parade was held in partnership with the Village of Livonia’s Autumn in the Village festival and it was a huge success. The streets were lined with families, alumni, and community members showing their Bulldog pride. The week also featured an energetic pep rally, a spirited powder puff football tournament, and a fun-filled Homecoming Dance that brought our students together in celebration. It truly captured the school spirit and shared pride Livonia is all about.

We’re also thrilled for the return of our Haunted House on November 1! This long-standing tradition has been missed, and we can’t wait to bring it back for our students, families, and community to enjoy. It’s always one of the highlights of the fall season, and we’re looking forward to a night full of creativity and fun.

Finally, I want to thank our families for their support as we introduced new expectations around cell phone use during the school day. We know change takes partnership, and your understanding and encouragement at home have made a big difference. We’re already seeing more focused classrooms and students who are more engaged in their learning. Thank you for reinforcing these expectations. It’s truly helping.

As we move further into the school year, I couldn’t be prouder of all that our students and staff have already accomplished and more excited for what’s ahead. Thank you for your continued trust, partnership, and support. Go Bulldogs!

With Bulldog Pride,
Michael Calzi
