Details
The school was previously organized by a "Small Schools Initiative" that divided the student body into four different "sub" schools (Academies). They are, the "Academy of Arts and Design," the "Health and Human Services Academy," the "Media, Culinary and Marketing Academy," and the "Science, Engineering and Technology Academy. " As of 2007, the student body had since been reorganized into three academies: the "Freshman Academy", the "Arts, Communication and Technology Academy", and the "Health and Human Services Academy". The newly proposed "Freshman Academy" was introduced in order to compensate for the high amount of failing grades previous freshmen were receiving. Once the freshmen have moved on to their sophomore year, they must then decide which of the other two academies they will join.
In these academies the students work in various "Focus Programs of study" similar to college majors. The focus programs include: Instrumental Music, Vocal Music, Visual Arts, Theatre Performance, Theatre Production, Child Services, Health Services, Public Services, Culinary Arts, Marketing/Management, Media Communications, Engineering, Science, and Technology.
Liberty has a student run television studio referred to as "LTV. " The students put on a morning broadcast everyday informing viewers of activities, awards, announcements and video clips of sporting events. The Patrick Henry is the schools newspaper.
