March 6th, LHS 10th graders toured Southern Missouri Technical Institute in West Plains. Students were introduced to different opportunities such as Carpentry, Welding, Auto Collision. Auto Mechanics, Health Sciences, Pharmacy Tech, and Commercial and Advertising Art. This is a 2-year program that students have the option to apply for and attend while in high school to learn the skills necessary in those fields. The students were well behaved and hopefully some of these programs sparked their interest!

Today, LHS celebrated the 100th day with a little fun! Mrs. Reese and Mrs. Franklin organized a little scavenger hunt and with the help of teachers, they hid 100 poker chips around the school for students to find. In exchange for the poker chip, students were able to turn them in for a variety of candy prizes! Students enjoyed looking for the prizes and were very respectful when finding more than one chip to share them with other students! The Great Poker Chip Hunt was a huge success!
Alyssa Phipps goes above and beyond for Liberty High School. She is a safe space for students in her business classes and is a valuable asset to all the teachers around her. She can always be relied on to do the things nobody else sees, and we are beyond thankful for her willing heart and caring smile.
Mrs. Kellyn Hoagland is a G.O.A.T. at LHS because she embodies all the best parts of being a teacher. She is helpful to her colleagues and makes her curriculum come alive for her students. She is new to the district this year and is an amazing addition. Her students are lucky to have her.

On February 27th and 28th Paige McBride and Teytam McClellan participated in FCCLA Legislative Shadowing at our state capitol. Only 48 Juniors and Seniors across Missouri’s FCCLA chapters were chosen for this event. While at the capitol, they spent the day in the office of their designated legislator. They got a firsthand glimpse of how our state government operates daily. We viewed the house in session and toured the Supreme Court Building.
This was a great opportunity for these young ladies. We would like to thank our administrators for allowing us to attend, and MO. House and Senate for allowing student to shadow.

Thank you everyone for working with us at the high school today. Thank you Josh Roberts for bringing us a tank of water to keep toilets flushed and Walmart for helping us with bottled water. I didn't check my phone as I spent most of the day pouring buckets of water in toilets as well as others but I seen and appreciate other individuals willing to help out. Our well pump went out this morning but Woolsey well service came in and worked hard all day to get things fixed for us this evening. All should be back to normal at LHS tomorrow! Thank you all again for your patience and understanding today.
