Principal's Message 4-6-2025
Dear Liberty High Community,
We are in the 4th quarter, the home stretch, approaching the finish line, .....
Students, Parents, Guardians, and Staff,
Please, be aware that we are quickly approaching the end of the 4th quarter and the end of the 2024-2025 school year. The Liberty High Staff is so excited to help our students. Please, work with our team to ensure your students success. Communication is the key and we are more than happy to assist you with your questions or needs.
We will be going to school every week up until school ends in the final week of May. Graduation is on May 28th at Hutchinson Square. More details will follow with regard to graduation and information can always be obtained in the front office.
New schedules and updates have been passed out. Students are working hard in their classes. So, fare we have had 32 students graduate early and 7 students return to their high school to graduate with their class.
Have a blessed day, Dr. Christmas
