Let's Share and Care!
As the season of gratitude approaches, The Counseling Department at Liberty Magnet High School is excited to launch our Thanksgiving Food Drive starting Monday, November 10th-Thursday, November 13th! This is a wonderful opportunity for our school community to come together and make a real difference for families in need.
Our food drive reflects three of our core values:
Community
When we join together, we show the power of unity and compassion. Every donation—big or small—helps strengthen the bonds that connect us all.
Service
Giving our time and resources to support others is one of the most meaningful ways we can live out our values. Through service, we bring hope and comfort to those facing tough times.
Integrity
We act with honesty and care, doing the right thing even when no one is watching. Supporting the food drive is a sincere way to live our values and stand by our commitment to helping others.
Please bring non-perishable food items to the collection boxes in the main lobby or the lobby of B, C, or D building . Together, let’s make sure every family can enjoy a warm and plentiful Thanksgiving meal this year!
Important ACT Test Dates!!

Updated Organizational Chart and Contact List
Please review the two charts provided. They outline who to contact based on specific situations, helping us address concerns more efficiently and effectively.
Following this communication flow will ensure quicker resolutions and help everyone stay informed.
A tardy is recorded any time a student is not in class by its official start time (at the start of school and during regular class changes). Late arrivals to school by student drivers or carpool do count into a student's tardy record. Student tardies accumulate throughout the full semester and consequences begin after the 3rd tardy.
Carpool starts at 6:40! Parents are not allowed to drop off before this. Wait for Mr. Shoff to start releasing for Carpool. Also, parents are not allowed to go down the lane that is reserved for student parking as indicated by the green arrows. That lane is reserved for students so they can drive into the student parking lot to park. Also, going up Pickett to try to get into the parking lot is NOT allowed at any time.
At the end of the school day during carpool, we've noticed some parents parking on the grass along LEE Drive and having their children walk to their cars. This practice is not only against school policy but also poses significant safety risks. For the safety of all students and to ensure smooth traffic flow, please refrain from parking on the grass and use the designated carpool lanes. Your cooperation is crucial in keeping our school environment safe for everyone.
Check-in/Check Out Policy Reminders
Parents cannot email or call the office after dropping the student off late to school
Students will wait in TOR until a parent comes to sign them in.
Student drivers who arrive late may have a parent email the office. Student driver must have an approved parking contract on file.
Student drivers will have driving privileges suspended upon their 3rd late arrival in the semester.
