Liberty Team Wins District Book Battle
On March 7, 2018, seven of Liberty's super readers represented our school in the district Battle of the Books competition. This trivia-style competition pits students from all three district high schools against one another to determine who is the most knowledgeable about this year's Gateway Award Nominated books. Liberty seniors Alisha Grant, Madison McGuire, and Arianna Amann returned for the third year in a row, hungry for their first victory. With the help of Melana Quarles, Ashley Arbesman, Dessa Outman, and Emma Bensek, the LHS team rocketed to victory, scoring a whopping 3050 points to Holt's 2550 and Timberland's 2400. We are so proud of these ladies!
