Patriot Family,
What a week it has been at Liberty! I am continually inspired by the character, courage, and creativity our students demonstrate, and this week was an example of just that. Our Associated Student Body showcased the incredible talent within our arts programs through a series of events that celebrated the dedication and creativity of our students.
On Tuesday, ASB hosted gallery walks at lunch, highlighting both art and graphic arts student work. One student shared with me, "This week is very important. We have a lot of talented students at Liberty and it feels great to feel noticed." Moments like these remind me how essential it is for every student to find their community, and our arts teachers have done just that for so many of our students.
Wednesday brought an assembly featuring our choir and segments produced by our video production students. On Thursday, second-period classes had the opportunity to attend an assembly showcasing the theater program. Then, Friday’s stadium rally was a celebration of the arts on a grand scale: our choir sang the national anthem, the band performed their full state-ranking show for the student body, and our new dance pathway students performed, many for the first time in front of their peers. The dance students were elated by their accomplishment and proud of the courage they found to share their art.
This week also brought incredible recognition for our band, which achieved outstanding results at the state competition. While we celebrate their accomplishment, it is the words of senior and clarinet section leader Savannah Conners that truly capture the spirit of our arts programs:
"Through band, we have been able to be a part of something bigger than ourselves. Through music, we have changed lives and perspectives. That's what the performing arts are about. This show in particular is about finding your light in the storm and understanding that there will always be one waiting for you to follow back home."
A heartfelt thank you to band director Jason Armistead and all of our arts teachers for providing such rich, life-changing experiences for our students.
Lastly, we hosted our first Coffee with the Principal of the year last Friday. Thank you to the parents who joined us. As I have said before, you are our greatest asset in this journey. Nobody loves our students more than you do.
Please stay tuned next week as we highlight our Spirit Team, who wrapped up their season with the final football game of the year.
Your partner in learning and growing,
Leandrea Slayton
Principal

Liberty’s We the People Team Earns 3rd Place with Inspiring Performances
Liberty’s We the People team delivered a remarkable performance at yesterday’s regional competition, earning an impressive 3rd place finish and leaving judges, coaches, and fellow competitors inspired by the quality of their constitutional conversations.
The team’s afternoon hearings were particularly exceptional. Their depth of understanding, calm confidence, and ability to connect American history and constitutional principles to the issues facing our country today made the room come alive with meaningful dialogue. When the timer sounded and each hearing came to a close, no one, including the judges, was ready for the conversations to end. The students truly embodied the purpose of We the People: using their knowledge to analyze modern challenges and explore new solutions grounded in the Constitution.

Liberty Cross Country: A Historic Season of Excellence and Unity
The Liberty High School cross country program delivered one of its most remarkable seasons to date, marked by historic performances, rising talent, and a powerful sense of unity that defined both the boys and girls teams.
For those new to the sport, cross country scoring works much like golf, the lowest total wins. Seven athletes compete for each team, and the finishing places of the top five runners are added together to form the team score. The sixth and seventh runners do not score directly but play a crucial strategic role by displacing opposing runners and increasing their point totals. This blend of individual performance and team depth makes every athlete’s effort meaningful.

Fall Sports Season Wrap-Up
This fall, our Liberty athletes accomplished many great things while demonstrating character, grit, and work ethic across every team. Principal Leandrea Slayton said of the season, “I am incredibly proud of their accomplishments, and even more proud of the way our athletes and coaches navigated adversity. These life skills transcend far beyond athletics, shaping our students into resilient, disciplined, and collaborative young adults. The lessons learned on the field, court, and course have allowed amazing things to happen, both in competition and in life.”
