Seniors Vote On Favorite Liberty Classes

By far the most popular teacher who was mentioned was Mr. Barker, getting a notice from over ⅓ of those who took the survey. His AP psychology periods fill up every year, and the classic "egg project" is a staple of the class. His students especially appreciate his casual and personal nature, as it puts them at ease and makes learning more fun.  "I demand a recount. Thank you, seniors, much love,"...

Although he teaches required classes with strict syllabi, Mr. Schaper always finds a way to make the course feel unique and personal. He will often show episodes of his favorite show, "The Twilight Zone" in class as a way of teaching parts of a unit, such as style analysis. "It's really flattering," he said excitedly in response. "The students make it easy, and I feel honored to be recognized.”...

Mrs. Beierman's upbeat and caring personality aids in making her students care about learning chemistry, as it can be a difficult subject to teach. She utilizes very hands-on activities, and is always helpful to those who are struggling or in need of extra help.

Mrs. Braille is said to put being a "mom" to her students before being a teacher. She genuinely cares about her students and making sure they're well. Her interactive and fun nature makes taking these classes exciting and interesting. "I'm honored to be on the list," she said. "There are some awesome students in the senior class."

Mr. Leonard has only been a teacher at Liberty for three years, but his impact on his students has been very strong. With a laid-back teaching style and a friendly demeanor, everyone in his classes feels welcomed and appreciated, never afraid to ask a question.
