Superintendent's Message
It my pleasure to welcome everyone back for the 2011-2012 school year. I hope your summer was full of adventure, relaxation, and some enjoyable READING. It is hard to believe that this marks the start of my 24th year in the Liberty School District and a year in which our youngest child, Joshua, will complete his senior year in high school. Nancy and I certainly feel very blessed to have raised our four children in Liberty. The fact that Liberty was recently named by Family Circle magazine as one of the best places in the entire nation to raise a family confirms that our positive experience is one that is common among parents.
Last year was a year full of successes, celebrations, milestones, and a lot of hard work by all. Because of the continued support of the community, the district was able to successfully open Liberty North High School We are looking forward to seeing some of the seeds of our labor continue to mature into a full harvest in the form of expanded opportunities for students. It is our goal to continue to work with all stakeholders in finding the best ways to prepare our students for a successful and fulfilling future—a mission that is certainly worthy of our individual and collective best.
There is no doubt that challenges lie ahead as we continue to provide an exceptional education for all students, while dealing with continued growth and declining revenues. The Board of Education is working closely with administration to come up with a plan that takes all factors into consideration as we decide how best to move forward. Almost certainly, this plan will include asking the voters how they prefer the district manage continued growth.
Of one thing I am confident, the staff and school board will continue to give their all in caring for and educating students. The continued support Liberty Public Schools receives from our patrons is both acknowledged and greatly appreciated. It is this type of support that makes Liberty one of the best places to raise a family.
