Liberty High School has opened the year with exciting momentum and record growth. With just over 2,400 students enrolled, this is the largest number of Patriots we’ve welcomed in some time. Our student body is vibrant and thriving, with 613 freshmen, 590 sophomores, 566 juniors, and 643 seniors filling our campus with energy and excitement.

The quad was filled with laughter, music, and the sweet taste of ice cream this past Friday as Liberty High came together to celebrate the return of our students and our core value of Everyone. Staff and students enjoyed a treat at lunch as we recognized what makes our community so special—the belief that we all belong here.

Students will report directly to their 1st period class to receive their official schedule on Wednesday, August 13. First period locations for every student will be posted outside the Dean's Office. Staff will also be on campus to assist students finding their 1st period class. We encourage students to check their schedules through StudentVue as changes have occurred over the past couple of days due to balancing of classes.

The first day of school bell schedule is slightly different than a normal day. Each period is two minutes shorter to provide for a 19 minute longer 2nd period class. During this longer 2nd Period, teachers will present the theme for the year, our Patriot PRIDE core values, and other related opportunities for students.

We welcome the Class of 2029 with the Patriot Freshman Fling.
