Liberty High School Home

On October 15, Liberty High School hosted its first Patriot PLUS Forum of the school year. PLUS, which stands for Peer Leaders Uniting Students, is a student leadership program focused on building connections, promoting inclusion, and empowering student voice.

Liberty Theatre students delivered an outstanding performance at the annual Peg Pauly Shakespeare Festival, held at Bakersfield College, earning recognition for both their ensemble performance and individual accomplishments.
On the first day of competition, Liberty’s ensemble team performed Puck’s Midsummer, directed by Justine, and received an Excellent rating in the ARDEN division, the festival’s highest competitive division. Liberty competes at this level based on the team’s high scores from previous years, a testament to the strength and consistency of our theatre program. Jacob Bowers, Abigail Graff, and Camryn Yasenchak also earned individual Standout Medals for their performances.

Liberty’s Homecoming Court represents much more than a moment in the spotlight. It celebrates four years of involvement, leadership, service, and commitment to the Liberty community. Each year, seniors who wish to be considered for Mr. and Miss Liberty complete an application documenting their participation in campus activities, athletics, clubs, and organizations. Advisors verify their involvement, ensuring the process recognizes students who have made meaningful contributions across campus.

This year’s Homecoming theme brought video games to life as our freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior classes competed in two events: the T-shirt design competition and the highly anticipated float competition. The freshmen took home the win for T-shirt design, while the seniors claimed the float competition title. Float judging included several categories: set design and construction, storyline, theme, and overall presentation. While the friendly competition added excitement, the heart of Homecoming was the community that came together to make it all happen.

Every week we shine a light on a Patriot whose actions reflect the best of who we are. This is our chance to celebrate the students, staff, and community members who choose courage, kindness, and character, and who live out The Patriot Way.
This week we are honored to recognize Jason Armistead

Liberty Patriots once again demonstrated the power of service, compassion, and community by volunteering at the annual SALT Walk two weekends ago. Members of our freshman and sophomore and junior varsity Spirit Teams, Just Serve Club, and wrestling team showed up ready to encourage participants, lend a helping hand, and do whatever was needed to make the event a success.

The Liberty High School Band, Drumline & Colorguard are bringing their 2026 field show, Refraction, to life through music, movement, color, and visual design. This powerful production explores what happens when light passes through something new, bending and changing direction to reveal something unexpected. Through music inspired by “Trisense” by Eijiro Nakagawa, “Elastic Heart” by Sia, and “Bone FX 3” by Quinn Carson, our Patriots take the audience on a journey of transformation and discovery.

Patriot Speech & Debate kicked off its competition season on Saturday, October 10, at Foothill High School, and our Patriots made Liberty proud!
Competing against teams from across the Kern High School District, as well as McFarland and Wasco, our students represented Liberty with poise, confidence, and grace. With eight students competing across five events, the team gained valuable experience, learned a great deal, and, most importantly, had fun along the way.
