LHS Yearbook Photos

Liberty High School will be open on Tuesday, August 8 from 8 am - 1 pm and Wednesday, August 9 from 1 pm - 6 pm; and Reed Portrait Group will be present at those times for yearbook pictures. These dates and times are a great opportunity for freshmen to have their pictures taken prior to school. If you are unable to visit LHS during these two dates and times, we will have retake opportunities on September 20 and October 26 during the school day.

Student photographs are for student IDs, used in the yearbook and available for purchase for families. The photo order form can be printed and brought with you to purchase your student's pictures.

Speaking of yearbooks, they are available for purchse through our outside yearbook company, Walsworth. Please click here to order. Yearbooks will be distributed on May 7, 2024.

Freshman Parent Meeting

A Freshman Parent Meeting has been planned for Thursday, August 17, from 6-7 pm, and will take please in The View at LHS. If you would prefer a virtual option, please complete this form so you will receive a link to the presentation prior to its start.

Freshman Transition Day

During Transition Day, Freshman students will be working in small groups, led by Juniors and Seniors, through games that encourage teamwork and getting-to-know-you icebreakers. There will be time for students to walk their schedules and become more comfortable with navigating the building. If students have their schedules on their phones or written down somewhere that would be helpful to have for this portion of the day.

Students do not need to bring anything for Transition Day.  If they would like, they can bring a water bottle and a notebook to take notes; but neither are required.

Students should wear comfortable clothing that they can move around in as they will be sitting in small groups on the floor, playing games, and moving around all day! Shirt, shorts, and tennis shoes would be a good idea. If your Freshman received their Class of 2027 shirt at the end of last year, this would be a great day to wear it.

Lunch will be provided for students on Transition Day so that students can experience the cafeteria process before the first day of school.  The lunch will be pizza, salad, fruit and milk.

Transportation is provided on Transition Day.  If your student will be riding the bus, fill out this Transportation Request Form: LPS Transportation Request.  

Click on the “Opt In/Request Transportation” icon, to make your request:

Social-Emotional Well Being: We know that transitioning to a new school, dealing with a large number of students, loud sounds, and various other situations can be challenging for many students. School counselors and social workers will be in the building on Transition Day to provide help to any student that may need it.

First Day of School

The 2023-24 School Year begins on Wednesday, August 23rd. School begins at 8:10 am and ends at 3:15 pm. The first day of school is NOT an early release Wednesday.

We do not have a general school supply list for LHS. Your student would benefit from bringing their device, something to write on and something to write with on the first day. Teachers who have class-specific supplies will inform students of their supply requests.
