BIG NEWS!!!

Liberty Magnet High School has been recognized and will receive a National Merit School of Excellence Award during a ceremony held at the Magnet Schools of America National Conference hosted by New York City Schools, April 16-20, 2024. The National Award of Merit Excellence is the highest level of Merit Award that MSA assigns.

To receive a national merit award, members of Magnet Schools of America must submit a detailed application that is scored by a panel of educators. These schools are judged and scored on their demonstrated ability to raise student academic achievement, promote racial and socioeconomic diversity, provide integrated curricula and instruction, and create strong family and community partnerships that enhance the school’s magnet theme.

Important Information

Course Selection

All course selection class visits have concluded. Students MUST return the SIGNED course selection form by Wednesday, January 31.

All DE and AP course requests must have a parent signature next to the request
Any students who do not return their course selections will be scheduled by the counselors. These students will be scheduled last into available classes and will not have the opportunity to request schedule changes.

Black History Month

Tuesday, February 1 kicks off Black History month. Throughout the month our African American History classes, Zeta Tau Theta Chapter, and Fine Arts Department have activities planned throughout the month to celebrate, educate, and uplift. Be on the lookout for activities starting this Friday!

Please Help!

Parents, please help us reinforce the importance of personal responsibility when using the cafeteria. Our students, especially our younger students on 1st lunch shift, have been consistently leaving the cafeteria in an unacceptable state for our cafeteria and custodial staff. This includes: food on the floor and tables, half-eaten plates of food left on tables instead of thrown away, spilled food left on the ground, chairs moved from tables and not returned.

Should these behaviors continue this week, we will then institute significantly stricter cafeteria procedures to ensure that our facilities are appropriately used and protected.

Sister Act

This year our theater program's Spring Production will be Sister Act. Tryouts for Sister Act will be soon, but those interested in being a member of the cast or crew should sign-up now. Students do not have to currently be in a theater class to be a part of the Theater Production. Practices will be after school with performances in April. For more information, stop by the Black Box to meet our new Theater instructor, Ms. Rodriguez!
