The Liberty High School Booster Club is a dedicated organization that supports all student programs—both athletic and non-athletic—along with clubs and teams. Through year-round fundraising efforts, we help meet needs that may not be fully covered by the school or district, ensuring that programs of all sizes have the resources to thrive and grow.

All student organizations, programs, and athletic teams are eligible to benefit from Booster Club funds. Money raised is distributed directly back to students through their program sponsors’ funding requests. Supporting extracurricular activities is essential to building a strong school culture and fostering students’ personal and social development. Contributing to the Liberty Booster Club is one of the most direct ways to make a positive impact on Liberty students.

The Liberty Booster Club operates entirely through independent fundraising efforts and receives no direct funding from Liberty High School or the Wentzville School District.
