This week’s Shining Star is Mr. Michael Calamia, our dedicated Social Studies teacher! 

Students and staff have shared wonderful things about his positive energy, his passion for teaching, and the care he shows for every student he meets.

One student wrote:

“Mr. Calamia takes his time with lesson plans to make sure they are interactive and enjoyable. He even makes it his duty to high five or fist bump every student before entering his class.”

We are grateful for teachers like Mr. Calamia who bring creativity, kindness, and connection to Liberty every day. Congratulations, Mr. Calamia!
