National School Counseling Week | Feb. 2–6❣️
Last week, we celebrated the incredible school counselors who truly amplify student success. Liberty is so fortunate to have the best of the best — Mrs. Dillon, Ms. Duvall, and Dr. Parker!
From academic guidance and college planning to social-emotional support and everyday encouragement, our counselors show up for students in ways that make a lasting difference. More than 131,000 school counselors nationwide support students academically, socially, and emotionally and we’re lucky to have three of the very best right here at Liberty.
We love our counselors and are so grateful for all they do!
Club Day will be February 12!

This is a reminder that students may become eligible for Final Exam Exemptions during the Spring Semester. Students who earn an exemption are excused from attending on exam days, and the only way a student may earn an exemption is through the schoolwide exemption policy. Juniors and seniors will take the ACT on Tuesday, March 17, while freshmen and sophomores will take the PreACT on Wednesday, March 18. WorkKeys testing will be offered on February 27, and April 1, and participating in WorkKeys testing is also a great way for students to work toward earning an exam exemption.

This year, the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation selected 568 outstanding high school seniors from more than 4,100 high schools across all 50 states, Washington, DC, and U.S. territories. Being named a semifinalist is a true testament to Tori’s extraordinary academic achievement, dedication, and ambition.

As a semifinalist, Tori now advances in the selection process, with scholarship recipients to be announced this spring. We wish her the very best as she takes this exciting next step in her educational journey.
Way to go, Tori! We are so proud of you!
📣 December Teacher of the Month Spotlight
We’re excited to recognize Ms. McMichael as our December Teacher of the Month!
Ms. McMichael’s classroom is a place where thinking runs deep and learning feels intentional. Through thoughtful questioning and discussion, she challenges students to move beyond surface-level answers and think more deeply. Her lessons are well-designed, connected, and always centered on meaningful learning.
Just as important, her classroom culture stands out. The calm, positive environment she creates allows students to feel comfortable collaborating, sharing ideas, and learning from one another. Walk into her room at any time, and you’ll see students actively engaged and working together.
Congratulations, Ms. McMichael, and thank you for the impact you make on our students and school community!

The project was developed by Kaylee Martin, Kenny Nguyen, Ta’Kira Nunnery, Ivory Brown, and Fernando Ruff, and is designed to help educators teach real-world cybersecurity concepts through engaging, classroom-ready experiences.
The lesson focuses on Digital Citizenship, Artificial Intelligence Ethics, Scam Awareness, and Introductory Cryptography while promoting leadership development, career readiness, and authentic student ownership of learning.
We are incredibly proud of these students for representing Liberty as well as our district on a national platform!

🚨 Dress Code & Cellphone/Electronics/Headphone Policies 🚨
Patriots, we need your help! Dress code and cellphone use have become major concerns, and it’s important that we all work together to keep our campus safe, respectful, and focused.
Please take a moment to review the policies on page 14 of the Student Handbook (linked above). These guidelines are essential, especially when it comes to footwear, which is a significant safety issue.
Acceptable Footwear Includes:
Tennis Shoes / Sneakers
Dress Shoes
Boots
Any covered shoes
Liberty continues to offer one of the most flexible free-dress codes in the city, but that only works when everyone follows the expectations in place.
Cellphones, Electronics, and Headphones
We also need your support in ensuring students follow the rules regarding device usage. These policies help minimize distractions and maintain a positive learning environment for everyone.
Your cooperation makes a real difference. Thank you for supporting our school community and helping keep Liberty safe and focused!
2025 - 2026 Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbook
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.
