The Livingston Academy Alumni Association has installed a digital display that shows graduate composites dating back to 1916.
Association Member Lesley Riddle said the idea came about when the association realized they were running out of wall space for physical pictures.
“With the school beginning in 1909, that’s a lot of composites to put up there,” Riddle said. “So, we thought about digitizing those and what to do with it and how to do it. When the alumni association came up with some extra money one year thanks to Mike McCulley, this idea just came about.”
Riddle said the association partnered with Best Buy to create the program. Riddle said the company wants to use the gallery in Livingston as a pilot for something for other schools.
Riddle said you can type in a name or a year to find the desired graduating class. Riddle said the association wants to eventually add past sports teams to the program. Riddle said the 80-inch display in the high school is right outside of the gym.
As for the composites on the wall, Riddle said they will remain.
