Liberty High School Home

Liberty High School wrestling has never been just about wins and losses. It is about building young men and women who are prepared to serve something bigger than themselves.
This year, several Liberty wrestlers have committed to military service or are pursuing appointments to military academies as their next step after high school. In their own words, each athlete describes how the lessons learned through wrestling shaped their decision to serve and prepared them for the challenges ahead.

Liberty High School junior Ellee Statler reached a milestone few student-athletes ever achieve, scoring her 1,000th career point in girls basketball this past weekend. The accomplishment was officially celebrated Wednesday night at the home game, where teammates, coaches, and the Liberty community recognized a moment that will go down in school history.

On Saturday, January 24, the Liberty Softball Team proudly hosted its first annual Home Run Derby, bringing together players, families, and community members for an exciting day on the field. The event welcomed 46 participants competing across three divisions: Minors (3rd–7th grade), Majors (8th–12th grade), and Legends (19 years of age and older).

High school years fly by quickly, and before you know it, college decisions are here. To support students and families during this important time, we are inviting all senior families to College Palooza, a fun, informative, and stress-reducing evening designed to help students and parents make final college and financial aid decisions with confidence.

Approximately 100 students participated in this year’s Social Studies Honor Showcase, a voluntary academic event that highlighted student scholarship, confidence, and a genuine love of history. This year’s theme, Revolution and Reform, challenged students to engage with historical events at a deeper, more analytical level and to consider how the past continues to shape the world we live in today.
Through a rigorous project-based learning experience, students conducted in-depth research, wrote a process paper, compiled a formal biography, and created a historical board presentation to serve as a visual aid. Students then presented their work to history classes, administrators, teachers, district leaders, and parents. As students explained their topics, they clearly articulated why they chose their subject and frequently connected their learning to current global and societal issues, making history feel authentic, relevant, and alive.

Liberty High School’s Robotics team had an outstanding showing at the California Central Coast VEX Robotics Competition held on January 17 in San Luis Obispo, California. Competing against 49 teams from across the region, our students demonstrated exceptional skill, and teamwork earning multiple awards and qualifying for the State Championship, which will once again be hosted next month at Cal State Bakersfield.
The VEX Robotics competition challenges students worldwide with the same engineering problem each year. At Liberty, students are organized into several smaller teams, each responsible for designing, building, programming, and refining their own robot to complete that year’s challenge. This structure allows students to collaborate deeply while also developing leadership, problem-solving, and engineering skills.

Liberty High School proudly hosted its Inaugural State of the FFA Address on January 20, marking a significant milestone for the reinstated Liberty FFA program. Held as part of a mid-year family night, the event brought together more than 200 family members, community partners, staff, and nearly 100 student members to celebrate the remarkable accomplishments of the program in just its first semester back after nearly 12 years of inactivity. From the opening ceremonies to student-led reports, the evening highlighted a program that is not just active, but thriving.

One of the most meaningful opportunities for student voice at Liberty is the Principal Roundtable, a dynamic group made up of nearly 50 students representing all grade levels across campus. This group meets monthly with Principal Slayton to share celebrations, raise concerns, and engage in thoughtful dialogue about issues impacting student life and learning at Liberty.
The Principal Roundtable serves as both a sounding board and a think tank where students have the chance to speak directly with Principal Slayton about what is going well on campus, as well as areas where they see opportunities for growth. At the same time, Principal Slayton relies on this group to help think through important topics, initiatives, and decisions that shape the school community.
