The Liberty Ledger
 Current Liberty students lined the halls to cheer on former Lions as they returned to celebrate their high school graduation with staff and students.
A Note from the Principal
As we wrap up another successful school year at Liberty, I want to thank our students, families, and staff for their partnership and support. Together, we accomplished so much, and I am proud of all that our Liberty community has achieved.
Although students and teachers are beginning their summer break, many of our staff will continue working hard throughout the summer to prepare for a strong opening and an even better year ahead. We are excited about the opportunities that await our students next year.
To our 8th graders, congratulations on this important milestone. We wish you the very best as you begin your high school journey and know you will continue to make us proud. To our rising 8th graders, we look forward to watching you grow as mentors, role models, and leaders who help make Liberty a welcoming and successful place for all students.
We will send periodic updates and communication throughout the summer with important information and reminders as we prepare for the start of the new school year.
Thank you for a wonderful year. We wish you a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable summer and look forward to welcoming students back to Liberty in August for another great year of learning, growth, and success.
