"This school year the Class of 2019 Class Committee engaged in a multitude of activities all based around tradition building and legacy creation. We kicked off their senior year with our annual "Senior Sunrise" Pancake Breakfast. Then it was on to Homecoming where the senior class committee for the fourth straight year built what in our humble opinion, was the best float at the parade! As the holidays approached we wanted to spread a little joy amongst our fellow seniors by treating each one to a small surprise. We designed, packaged, and hand delivered holiday mints and gum to each senior to thank them for all they have done and we helped spread a little holiday spirit in the process! As third quarter came to an end and we entered their last quarter of high school we again wanted to thank the senior class and sponsored a free afternoon of bowling at Frontier Lanes. A good time was had by all! As the school year wrapped up we closed out our celebratory year with a few other senior send-offs. First, was our "Senior Sunset" BBQ where students enjoyed outdoor games, were provided delicious BBQ, and over $2,000 in Air-Pods, i-Pads, and gift cards found a new home in well deserving senior's hands! Our final farewell to the senior class took place at our annual "Bridgewalk" Day. The class committee built upon the existing legacy of the bridgewalk by incorporating a ceremonial "passing of the crown". Seniors were distributed paper crowns and placed one piece of advice they would like to pass on to the incoming senior class inside the rim. As they exited for their final bridgewalk they left behind their crown anointing the incoming senior who slide over, picked it up, and took their place. Oh yeah, and then the senior class celebrated across the bridge enjoying Kona Ice (provided by the class committee) while reminiscing about how fast their time at Liberty flew by. Finally, as a parting farewell, the Senior Class Committee donated six flat-screen televisions that are now prominently displayed throughout the school for announcements and general awesomeness!!!" - Mr. Cole

"My club gained new members this year! All of Us Club is an opportunity to build friendships across programs that normally wouldn't get the chance to interact with each other. A proud moment was everyone working together to decorate the cake auction entry. The students have been working really hard to communicate with each other and build relationships!" - Mrs. Sachs

"The winter guard received 3rd place at the Mascoutah competition and 2nd place at the Edwardsville and O’Fallon Township Competitions.

"Students in FBLA had a fun-filled year! In October, students attending the FBLA Fall Leadership Conference at Kokomo Joe's in St. Peters. Students enjoyed a day of games, pizza, and networking with other students in and around St. Charles County. In December, FBLA sponsored it's first ever Winter Lock-in, with several students volunteering their energy and patience with children ages 5-12 to a night of crafting, games, hot chocolate and a movie. Students began prepping for District testing, which was held at Lindenwood University in February. Six students advanced to the State Competition. In April, three students made the trip to Springfield, MO to compete for the State Leadership Competition. For three days, students enjoyed opening and closing sessions, Keynote Speakers, a Springfield Cardinals baseball game, and other fun!" - Mrs. Ehlers

"The girls cross country team made it to state by tying for 4th place and beating the other team on a tie-breaker. Then at the state meet they were ranked last (16th). They ran a great race and ended up placing 12th." -Mr. Glavin

"This year, ASC had a few of their own events, outside of helping with the Student Council events. We did a Turkey Drive and raised $446 for the No Hunger Holiday. We also helped out with the Backpack Impact project at Morningstar Church where we helped to pack backpacks of food for students in our own WSD community." - Mrs. McMillen

"The Essential Skills, Basic Skills, and Autism Center started a weekly activity called the Eagle Express. This cart is geared toward helping students in our special education department develop skills necessary for employment outside of high school. Students are in charge of creating the order forms, making drink and food orders like lemonade and Jimmy Dean's Breakfast Sandwiches, and then deliver all orders to staff. On top of all of this, the students are also tasked with taking money for orders and making change. All of these skills are essential for life outside of Liberty High School, and our students are doing all of these tasks with a smile. It has been an exciting time in our classrooms each week to be able to get out in the Liberty community and bring smiles to our Liberty staff." - Mrs. Whitmore

"All of my art classes were amazing this year! We enjoyed making a wide range of art using a lot of different media. The Sculpture II students had an especially unique experience going on a field trip to visit local artist, Zack Smithey. We visited his studio in Saint Charles and had the honor of learning about Mr. Smithey's paint pouring techniques. Each student brought in a sculpture they made and got to use paint to apply their newly learned skills on their own artwork. The results were AMAZING!

That day was one of the most special experiences for both my students and myself. I feel honored that a professional artist took the time to share his knowledge and studio space to give us such an enriching art experience." -Mrs. Biere

"FCCLA took 5 teams to compete at Regional STAR event Competition. Of those 5 teams, 3 qualified for state competition and 1 advanced to Nationals by earning TOP GOLD and placing 1st out of 18 teams in the senior category. Katelyn Yoder, Audrey Chambers and Emma Benesek will be traveling to Anaheim, CA this summer to represent Missouri and LHS at National STAR events competition!"- Mrs. McFadden

A new club, Tower Garden was formed with the help of Mrs. Pizzo and sold flowers in the spring and fall.

"This year we took a field trip to Spirit of Saint Louis airport (KSUS), where the bus transformed into an aircraft. We taxied around the airport grounds as if we were an aircraft, holding short for airplanes taking off and landing until it was our turn to take off down the runway. Students also got the chance to get inside of a Cessna 172 at one of the flight schools at KSUS. As students checked out the flight controls a flight instructor talked about the preflight routine that happens before every flight. As the flight instructor explained the preflight, airplanes were buzzing all around. After the flight school, we talked to Metro Air Support Unit, which is the helicopter unit for the Saint Louis area. They talked about the aircraft and the missions they support. They explained why it's a bad idea to run from the police especially when they are on the scene. All in all it was another great annual field trip." - Mr. Creen

"Link Crew welcomed the freshman class to orientation this past August. They helped the freshmen learn valuable skills for succeeding in high school and took the time to get to know them and show them around the school. Throughout the year, Link Crew leaders were in freshman Academic Intervention classes to assist them with their first year of high school. In October, we attended the Link Crew Student Conference at Timberland High School, where Link Leaders from six other schools met to learn new skills and to discuss how their programs were run. Students have used skills from that conference to make a greater impact at Liberty and to plan for our very first Link Crew class, which will be held next year. As a sponsor, my proudest moment was reading through applications for next year's Link Crew and seeing application after application that mentioned how they had attended freshman orientation and been welcomed and helped by Link Crew. It shows that the program is truly making a difference." - Mr. Eversole

"We educated ourselves on the heritage celebrations and community events that occur in our community. We joined HOLT's CUSA club for a social justice chat which taught us a lot about how we would like to operate some future meetings. Our Black History Month video and Kahoot Challenge was one of our highlights. For Women's History ,The WonderWomen of LHS bulletin board showed lots of love to moms, staff & teachers, & friends that were inspiring and heartfelt. Our Hispanic Heritage Month had a guest speaker, a movie night (COCO), and coloring contest. Our Asian Pacific American Month meeting had Khris & Waheed present on two cultures with fascinating information about Korean & Egyptian culture." - Ms. Borders

"Horizons is not a scheduled class, however, our students get the chance to explore potential career interests! We have speakers come talk to students about the steps they took to achieve their current position and also spend time looking at potential avenues students can take to achieve their goals. One of our favorite speakers from the past two years is a scout for the Cardinals organization. We also have had Civil and Mechanical Engineers, Pharmaceutical Sales Reps, Physical Therapists, Nurses and Pilots come to share about their journeys. Students are also paired with Tour and Job Shadowing experiences. Students have visited KMOV, Monsanto and the Bridgeton Landfill." - Mrs. Lewis

"Wrestling had an exciting year as it was the first year girls had their own individual division. Taking advantage of this new opportunity, Janna Stevenson became the first girl wrestler in Liberty history to qualify for State. Let us not forget about the boys side either. Varsity might not have had a great dual record, but several wrestlers shined all year on their way to qualifying for State. Brandon Jones, Trentin Helton, Wyatt Haynes, and Christian Ziek all posted fabulous records while placing at many of the tournaments in which they participated. And while wrestling was quite overall at State, Ziek placed 2nd in class 3A at 145 pounds." - Mr. Kling
