Welcome back to school! My name is Becca Quarles and I am your School Social Worker at Liberty Middle School (LMS). I have been a social worker for Liberty Public Schools since January 2019. Mr. Clark, one of our school counselors, and myself are also the sponsors of our Hope Squad at LMS. Please reach out for more information on Hope Squad!
My husband and I had our first beautiful baby girl in February 2025. We are now a family of 5 with our two dogs! We are both from liberty and now live in the northland. We love this community and I'm so grateful to be able to help serve and better our community!
I'm very passionate about public education and have really enjoyed working with students and their families these past several years. If you are needing any support, please reach out by email at becca.quarles@lps53.org or by phone at 816-736-5410 extension.
