Have you ever wondered why here at Liberty we start 5 minutes before our neighbor schools Holt and Timberland?

Liberty starts at 7:15 and concludes the day at 2:15 while Holt and Timberland start at 7:20 and end at 2:20.

According to Mary LaPak, who is the Director of Community Relations, the Liberty start time is different than the other high schools because of transportation considerations.

“It actually started out the same as the other high schools when the school opened but the buses were having difficulty getting to their subsequent routes at the other schools,” LaPak said. “It was an administrative decision to change the start time shortly after the school opened in 2013. The administration sets start times based on transportation needs and school activities and we are pleased that is a local decision as those needs vary by school district.”
