FFA Family Dinner Celebrates Remarkable Growth

Liberty FFA welcomed students, families, and supporters to the second annual FFA Family Dinner, an evening designed to kick off the new school year, share what families can expect from FFA, provide opportunities for parents to get involved, introduce key members of the program, and celebrate the growth of Liberty’s agriculture program.
The growth of the event itself was a reflection of the momentum behind Liberty FFA. In just one year, attendance doubled, with nearly 550 students, families, and community supporters coming together for the evening.

Patriot Welcome: 2026–27 Back to School Night - Wednesday, August 26

Last year, we introduced a new format for Back to School Night and rebranded the evening as Patriot Welcome. The goal was simple: create an evening that feels less like a traditional Back to School Night and more like a welcome celebration for our entire Liberty family.
After a great first year, Patriot Welcome is back for 2026–27.

Being a Light: Melvin’s Patriot Welcome

Sometimes, being a light doesn’t require a spotlight. Sometimes, it simply means showing up, every single day.
That is exactly what Melvin has been doing for years as a crossing guard across from Fruitvale Junior High. His friendly smile, encouraging waves, and consistent presence have made him a familiar and beloved part of students’ mornings and afternoons. This year, Melvin was featured in Liberty’s back-to-school video as we introduced our theme, “Be a Light.”

Be a Light: Our Theme for the 2026–27 School Year

Every year at Liberty, we roll out a special theme which creates a focused lens that sits alongside our PRIDE core values but allows us to go narrower and deeper into one idea for the year. Last year, that theme was Keep Going, Keep Growing, and it pushed us as a school to embrace the continuous cycle of improvement: that growth is never finished, and progress is a practice, not a destination.
This year, our theme is Be a Light.

Freshman Fling: Building a Culture of Belonging From Day One

Every year, before a new class of freshmen walks through our doors, nearly 300 juniors and seniors come together for an important purpose: to prepare to welcome, mentor, and encourage the newest members of our school community.
Through our Freshmen Link program, Link Crew students spend two full days, approximately four hours each day, learning how to become mentors and positive role models for our incoming freshmen and preparing to welcome them to Liberty at Freshman Fling. While the training includes plenty of energy, laughter, icebreakers, and small-group activities, the purpose behind it is much deeper. Link Crew is about building a culture where every student knows they matter.
