Liberty High School was established in 1980 in Eldersburg, Maryland as part of the Carroll County Public School system.
The school's first graduation ceremony was held in 1982. Since that time, 27 classes have graduated from Liberty High School.
Liberty follows a class schedule different from that followed in the rest of the county. Each class meets every other day (every pre-determined "A" or "B" day), with four class periods each day. Thus, it takes a student two days to attend every one of their classes. Because of this schedule, 1 credit courses are held the entire school year, with .5 credit courses held during 1 semester, half of the school year. Some courses, such as Advanced AP Calculus, meet on both "A" and "B" days during the entire year, and thus are worth 2 credits. Following is a schedule that could be given to an incoming freshman.

| Period | "A" Day | "B" Day | ||

| 2 | Business Comm. & Keyboarding | 1 credit | Drama I | ½ credit |
| 3 | Chemistry I | 1 credit | Conceptual Physics | 1 credit |
