Dear Liberty Families,
The Liberty High School staff would like to THANK YOU for coming to the 2009/2010 Curriculum Night this past Tuesday. It was a huge success this year, with full classrooms and lots of interaction between families and staff members. We believe Curriculum Night is a place to build and strengthen relationships and connections between parents and staff. We realize that the ten minutes allotted for each class period is short and does not really allow for a significant conversation. Our hope is that if you are interested in furthering the connection with one or more of your student’s teachers, you will do so via email or phone conversations.
Our counselor / administrator teams are also here to help. Please feel free to contact us with any concerns and/or comments you may have that we can address.
Students w/last name A-G: Kay Hutchinson, Counselor / Dana Greenberg, Dean of Students
Students w/last name H-N: Dorothy Hay, Counselor / Bernie Gibson, Assistant Principal
Students w/last name O-Z: Lynn Davidson, Counselor / Marsha Denton, Assistant Principal
