Congratulations to our 2026 Grand Marshals!
Tim and Jean Livengood both graduated from Milledgeville High School 50 years ago. While in High School, Tim played football all 4 years and was All Conference his senior year. His team was Upstate Illini Champs and advanced to the State Quarter Finals.
While in high school, Jean was involved in Band and school plays but her love was Cheerleading and Poms. She was responsible for creating the 1st PomPom Squad at MHS.
Since high school, Tim has served on the Board of the Carroll County Pork Producers, The Livestock Producers, and the Milledgeville Village Board. Most recently, he has formed a Fellowship of Christian Athletes Chapter for Chadwick/Milledgeville Jr and Sr High school students. Tim enjoys cooking and handing out hotdogs for any event he finds appropriate. He always brings a train horn to blast during touchdowns at football playoff games.
After high school, Jean graduated from Northern Illinois University and formed her own gymnastics club with as many as 60 participants. She taught computers and PE at both the Jr High and High School for 13 years. Over the years, Jean coached Jr High volleyball and was an Assistant HS Volleyball coach. She especially loved coaching Jr High and High School cheerleaders, sometimes both levels in the same year.
Tim and Jean are the parents of Laura, Melissa, Ed, and daughter in law Kali. They have 5 grand children; Karter, Kennedy, Keagan, Jhett, and Payson. All whom graduated from, or are currently attending Chadwick Milledgeville school. They have farmed together their entire marriage, west of Milledgeville and are active members at Dutchtown Church of the Brethren. These days, they spend a lot of time following their grandchildren by attending sports, plays, and music events.
When asked if they had any advice for MHS students, they replied:
