During the ceremony, students were reminded of a tradition that began four years ago as freshmen when they placed their handprints on the “26” for the Class of 2026. That handprint symbolized a promise to themselves and their future, a commitment to persevere through high school and reach graduation.
“The students sitting before us today are not the same freshmen who first walked onto this campus four years ago,” shared school administration during the ceremony. “The commitment you made four years ago was to graduation. The commitment you make today is to your future.”
This year’s ceremony highlighted the many paths Liberty seniors will pursue after high school, including four-year universities, junior colleges, trade schools, military service, career training programs, and entering the workforce. A total of 255 students participated in the signing portion of the event, proudly announcing their future plans alongside their peers.
Counselor Heather Graham reflected on the significance of the day, sharing, “Whether going to college, trade school, the military, or straight to work, Senior Commit Day is an opportunity for our seniors to reflect back on past accomplishments and look forward to their next steps. We are proud of all that our seniors have accomplished!”
Counselor Sylvia Morales added, “Senior signing is a great way to celebrate the diverse paths our students will be taking next year. We love honoring them for their hard work and cheering on their next steps!”
