Hello Falcon Families and Students,

There is no question, this has been a fun and memorable week for many of us. The theme has obviously been our Seniors and supporting them through the last days of their Liberty experience. I have been so impressed with the level of care and dedication we take to ensure ALL of our Seniors are celebrated along the way. I am so thankful to be at a school where there is a commitment to create a diverse range of ways to recognize the hard work of our students...from our AVID Senior Night, ELD Senior Celebration, Senior Awards Night, all of the Athletic and Performing Arts Awards Nights...all of these events take an incredible amount of time and dedication to keep alive. And, they take people, to ensure that they happen. These are the events that make a great school community. Thank you to everyone who contributed time and energy into ensuring our Seniors felt the true Liberty experience. These traditions also get noticed by our younger students and gives them something to look forward to. Good Stuff!!

GO FALCONS!!!

All the Best,

Mr. Joule

Students eligible to participate in graduation exercises may wear items of cultural significance. Examples of items of cultural significance include, but are not limited to eagle feathers worn by students who identify as Native American, flower lei or maile lei worn by students who identify as Asian Pacific Islander, and stoles made of culturally significant fabric/cloths. Schools will adhere to the following protocol regarding items of cultural significance at graduation exercises:

1. All graduating students will be notified in an informational letter each school provides their students in preparation for graduation that they have the right to wear items of cultural significance during graduation exercises.

2. In determining whether to wear items of cultural significance during graduation exercises, students and families should consider cultural appreciation versus cultural appropriation. Cultural appreciation is the celebration of one’s own culture or connecting cross-culturally while seeking to understand and learn. Cultural appropriation entails exploiting or taking an aspect of a culture that is not your own and using it for your own personal interest.

3. As a first step, students and/or parents or guardians who have any questions or concerns regarding items of cultural significance should connect directly with the assistant principal or dean who oversees 12th grade.

4. As a next step if students and parents or guardians have additional unanswered questions or concerns, they have the right to confer with the school principal, the district administration who work with high schools, and/or the district Equity, Access and Engagement Officer regarding items of cultural significance.

The Student Experience and Engagement Data (SEED) Survey will be administered at our school on June 3rd during their Advisory class.

The SEED Survey is an annual statewide survey that gathers valuable feedback from students about their school experiences to help improve learning and well-being.

For detailed information about the SEED Survey, including translated Annual Notices, Opt-Out procedures, and the complete list of survey questions, please visit:

We appreciate you taking the time to review this information. Your partnership is essential in creating a positive and supportive learning environment for all our students.

Welcome to the College and Career Exploration Center website! Here, you'll find the tools and resources you need to smoothly transition into your post-high school adult life. This site offers guidance on post-graduation plans such as college, trade school, careers, scholarships, and financial aid, tailored specifically for our students. You can explore various paths and make informed decisions about your future. With grade-specific information, we support students from the start of their high school journey through graduation. The website also features a Spanish translation button to ensure accessibility for everyone. We look forward to helping you explore your future! (Click the Button Below for Details)

This year, students will be turning in their Chromebooks on the last day of school, June 12th (June 5th for seniors) so that they may be refurbished and reset for the coming school year. If you have any repair/damage concerns for your Chromebook, please see Mr. Salazar in the tech office (across from the library) to have it assessed as soon as possible. If your student has their own device and is not using their Chromebook, they may turn it in now so that we can start the refurbishing and repair process.
