Liberty High School Home

This past weekend, twenty-two students from Liberty High School’s We the People team traveled to Sacramento to compete in the California State We the People Congressional Hearings Competition. Liberty was one of only eight schools statewide to qualify for the state competition, a notable accomplishment made even more impressive by the fact that Kern County is widely regarded as one of the toughest regional competitions in California. Joining Liberty from the local area were Centennial and Arvin High Schools, with additional competitors representing Monterey, Amador Valley, Foothill (Pleasanton), Arcadia, and Tennyson High Schools.

The Liberty Mock Trial team concluded an impressive season that showcased some of the very best examples of project-based learning in action. Mock Trial is an academic competition that immerses students in the legal process, requiring them to analyze a case from multiple perspectives while developing skills in critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and professional conduct. Students learn courtroom procedures, legal terminology, case analysis, and public speaking, while witnesses bring an element of theatre and storytelling to the courtroom experience. From attorneys to witnesses, journalists, and even a courtroom artist, every role contributes to the success of the team.

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).

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.
