24/25 WSD Back to School Calendar

24/25 Academic Calendar

The transition from middle school to high school is a big one, and it comes along with many challenges. To help ease apprehensions and set freshmen up for success, Liberty High School's Link Crew will be hosting a voluntary freshman orientation on Friday, August 16 at 9 a.m. in our main gymnasium. Link Crew's junior and senior members were chosen to represent the many academic and social groups present at Liberty, and all have joined to assist freshmen in their time at and beyond orientation. Following a fun kickoff in the gym, students have an opportunity to meet Link Crew students and fellow students, ask questions they may have about classes and school life, and see the building. The event will conclude around 11:00 a.m. Please plan to pick up/drop off your students at the main entrance of the school, as buses will not be running.

We are aware that some freshmen will be unable to attend. Those students will be contacted by our Link Crew students following orientation, and they can look for any Link Crew student in a Link Crew t-shirt on the first day of school to ask for help.

For any questions or concerns, please contact Matthew Eversole at mattheweversole@wsdr4.org.

We hope to see you there!

Liberty High School Community,

As Liberty High School turns 12 years old next school year, we want to update our weight room and fitness center to meet our expanding needs. Our goal is to create an even better, more fully functional facility with high-quality equipment to meet the needs of our physical education classes and ALL sports programs! 879 students registered for Liberty athletic programs in 2023-24 and approximately 700 students per semester were enrolled in PE courses. These improvements will impact nearly every student at some point while at Liberty. Our goal is to make this the best weight room facility around! With these thoughts in mind, we are kicking off an all-school fundraiser and hoping for your support. Please consider donating to the project using the link below.

• Please purchase a parking permits immediately
• Permits must be displayed when parking
