Math Tutoring
We’re excited to offer additional support for our students! Our math teachers are available to stay after school from 2:30 to 3:30 every Tuesday and Thursday. They will assist with all math courses. If students need extra time beyond these hours, we will work with them to ensure they get the help they need.
Dress Code and Cellphone/Electronics/headphones!!!!!!!!
We need your support! Liberty offers one of the most flexible free dress codes in the city, but it’s important that we all adhere to the existing restrictions. Additionally, we ask for your help in ensuring that our policies on cellphones, electronics, and headphones are followed.
Please take a moment to review the policies in place. Your cooperation is essential to maintaining a positive school environment. Thank you for your understanding and support!
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.
Liberty Seniors had a great time at the NACAC College Fair!

The event is free and open to all high school students and their families. We are so glad our Liberty Seniors were able to attend and take a big step toward planning their future!
Howard University Visits Liberty!

AHEC Student Ambassador Hosts Informational Table
Our AHEC Student Ambassador, a current senior, recently hosted a table display on campus to share information about the Area Health Education Center (AHEC) program. AHEC is designed to introduce high school students to careers in the healthcare field through hands-on experiences, job shadowing, and interactive learning. The program helps students explore a variety of professions such as medicine, nursing, dentistry, pharmacy, and more. It’s a valuable opportunity for those interested in health sciences to gain real-world exposure and learn what it takes to succeed in the medical field. We are proud of our student ambassador for helping to spread awareness and inspire future healthcare leaders!

This interactive approach helped deepen their understanding of the complex economic and social changes that shaped the era.
