Superintendent Update

Liberty Hill ISD,

Thank you to our Board of Trustees for their thoughtful engagement and dedication to the students, parents, staff and community. We are in great hands with their continued focus on student improvement, staff support and being good representatives of our community.

Thank you to Mrs Major for all of time, energy, effort and heart she gave to the students of Liberty Hill ISD on her role as a board member. She has been a true blessing to all of us and we will miss her dearly. We are with her in prayer and thought as she supports her husband and I look forward to always being able to count on her counsel and wisdom as we continue to build Champions in Liberty Hill ISD.
