🌟 Liberty High School students had an amazing experience today participating in their first TILT Day! 🌟 The Tressel Institute for Leadership and Teamwork (TILT) brought 15 students and staff from YSU to lead our students in three engaging teamwork activities. Each activity was followed by reflection questions to help our students dive deeper into the experience. Every YSU volunteer shared how impressed they were with our students' enthusiasm and participation throughout the activities. We’re so proud of our Liberty Leopards! 🐾

📢 Celebrating Black History Month at Liberty High School!

Students in Miss Takash and Mrs. Poudevigne’s fourth-grade homerooms sat down with Superintendent Brian Knight to ask tough questions about school lunches, cell phones, start times, and uniforms. This conversation stemmed from their recent project on argumentative writing, where students learned to research, form opinions, and craft persuasive essays on real-world school topics.

Reminder: On Friday, January 31, there will be no school for students due to a staff professional development day.

Signups are now available for Liberty Youth Baseball! Open to Liberty residents ages 4-15! See the attached flyer for more details. *Not affiliated with Liberty Local Schools*

Last week, our 5th graders amazed us with a cross-curricular project combining math and science. They created box replicas of animals, calculated their volumes, and researched fun facts and habitats to display on showboards. On Friday, January 24, the elementary building visited the 5th Grade Volume Zoo to explore their work. The 5th graders confidently presented their projects and shared everything they had learned with younger students.

As a reminder, LHS fully restricts cell phone usage (except for medical reasons) between 7:30am and 2:20pm. If you need to reach your student, please contact the school office. If you have questions or issues, please contact me via email or office phone. Thank you for supporting our students' development!
