Liberty Play-Triot Theatre continues to evolve with the launch of Cue the Chaos, our first-ever improv experience. This past Friday night marked the second month of this exciting new venture, and audiences continue to respond with enthusiasm and laughter. The growth of this program reflects the creativity and talent of our students, as well as the strong support of our community for innovative theatre experiences. In addition, Liberty Theatre is gaining attention and recognition from the community.

In an exciting milestone for our campus, Liberty High School has crowned its first Speech & Debate Valley Champion and State Qualifier in the very first season since reinstating the program. Patriot Speech & Debate competed at the Valley Congress Qualifier at Bakersfield High School on Thursday, February 26, the final stop on the road to the State Tournament, and our students delivered an outstanding performance.

This past week, Liberty students had the incredible opportunity to represent our campus at the Kern High School District Max Capacity Connection Conference. The conference brought together students from across the district to share ideas, learn from one another, and explore meaningful ways to make a greater impact on their campuses.
Liberty was proud to present on our Listening Circles initiative, sharing both the “why” and the “how” behind this powerful practice. Listening Circles create intentional space for students who may not typically interact to come together, build understanding, and truly hear one another’s perspectives. Through guided discussion, students not only share their experiences but also collaborate on the vision they want to see lived out on our campus. Our team highlighted how Listening Circles foster empathy, strengthen relationships, and build a culture rooted in respect and unity.

It has been an exciting postseason for Liberty Athletics as our student-athletes continue to compete at the highest levels and represent Patriot pride with determination and heart. Our girls soccer team lost a tough D-I semifinal game this past Thursday against Buchanan, the #1 seed at their field in the rain. However, the boys soccer team and wrestling team are still competing.

Liberty High School proudly held the inaugural meeting of its FFA Advisory Board, marking an exciting milestone for the Agriculture Education program. While establishing an advisory board is a required component of maintaining an active FFA chapter, District Agriculture Lead Clay Freeman shared that Liberty’s board is the largest in the district, a testament to the strength of our new program and the support of our community.
The purpose of the FFA Advisory Board is twofold: to build strong partnerships within the agricultural community and to ensure that what is being taught in Liberty’s classrooms is current, relevant, and aligned with industry needs. These partnerships not only help shape curriculum, but also provide students with valuable exposure to real-world careers and hands-on industry experience.

Unity Week is a newer tradition on Liberty’s campus, and year three proved that each year truly gets better and better. From cultural celebrations and interactive booths to powerful performances and student-led leadership, this week was a beautiful reminder of the strength found in our diversity.

This past Thursday during 2nd period, our auditorium came alive with rhythm, color, and powerful expression as Liberty gathered to celebrate Unity Week through dance. The energy in the room was electric as students cheered and applauded for performances that beautifully highlighted the diverse cultures that make up our Liberty community.
Unity Week commissioners Isabella Zepeda and Judith Gutierrez shared that their vision for the assembly was for students in the audience to see and feel the celebration of cultures through dance and music. That is precisely what filled the auditorium along with an overwhelming sense of pride, joy, and connection.

There are many outstanding students at Liberty High School who find multiple ways to be involved, and senior Keen Nguyen is certainly one of them. In a recent conversation, Keen reflected on what has motivated him throughout his four years at Liberty, and his message to underclassmen was simple but powerful: it is never too late to get involved.
Keen shared that though he was involved in multiple activites his freshman year, he continued to look for new things to get involved in that challenged him and helped him grow. That intentional approach has led to an incredibly well-rounded and impactful high school experience.
