Mascot Madness
This week Liberty was named the 2021 Neighbors Credit Union Mascot Madness Winner! We won the final voting round by over 300 votes! Thanks to the teachers, students, and supporters who voted over the 3 week competition!
The Mascot Debit Card is a no hassle way to support the school. Schools that have between 1-100 accounts earn 5 cents for every card swipe. Schools that have over 100 accounts earn 10 cents for every card swipe. Liberty currently has 63 active accounts and earned $275 in donations during our first quarter. If we get to 101 accounts, the estimate is closer to $1,000 per quarter earned.

Spring Testing Schedule
LMHS Spring Testing Schedule.pdfSpring Dress Code Reminders
Included is a flyer with reminders about prohibited dress code items that are becoming more prevalent as the weather warms.
It is important to note that nothing on this flyer is new or a change to the current dress code policy. These are reminders for some issues the staff are managing, especially the reminders that are underlined.
Students who are dressed in a manner that violates dress code must be picked up or have a change of clothes brought to school. Students with inappropriate tops (crop tops, spaghetti straps, tank tops) must have a change of clothes, not just a jacket.
Our most consistent offenses right now are female students wearing crop top shirts that exposes their midriff, and students wearing leggings.
Summer School Requirements
Below is the information for the Liberty Magnet Summer School requirements and on-site program. All students must recover any core class failure prior to the next school year.
LMHS Program - free and only in-person. Limited seats available and a wait list will be used throughout the month of June.
EBR Program - paid program, June only, may offer a virtual/remote option.
