General information

The Liberty Elementary School was built in 1925 as a centralized location for education in the Liberty Area. Overcrowding was a major problem, as too many students were going there (there were at one point tents on the front lawn to accommodate classes). Overcrowding is still a problem after the district's pre-kindergarten and kindergarten school closed, so now the grades taught go from pre-kindergarten to 4th. [1]

In 1963, the current High School was built to accommodate the influx of students, and the upper-level students were moved there from the original school, while those in lower grades remained. There are approximately 600 students attending it from 9th to 12th grade making it Class B for sports. In addition to normal courses Liberty High School offers advanced placement and distance learning classes. [2] [3]

Due to more crowding, the Liberty Middle School was built through efforts by then Superintendent Richard Beruk and opened in 1991 to hold students from grades 5 to 8. [4]

Beginning in 2009 major renovations began to all three schools in the district. Some renovations include a new media center and science labs in the high school as well as a complete overhaul to the entire elementary school. The middle school also received a new roof during these renovations.

Continuing these renovations, on May 19, 2015, a scaled-down version of the second phase of these renovations were approved after the full renovations were rejected on October 21, 2014. [5] [6]
