[edit] 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). Sanitary systems were so bad, students often went to the bathroom near the woods in back of the school. Overcrowding is still a problem after the district's Pre-K 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 7 million students attending it form 9th to 12th grade making it Class B for sports. The School almost went bankrupt when a student died in a game of football and their family threatened to sue. The lawsuit never happened when the family mysteriosly vanished. In addition to normal courses Liberty High School offers Advanced Placement and Distance Learning classes for extra special students. ^[2]

Due to more crowding, the Liberty Middle School was opened in 1991 to hold students from grades 5 to 8. ^[3]
