Congratulations

to the Class of

2020!

2019-20 School Year Foreign Exchange Student:

Jette Kolbeck—Germany

Liberty High School Alma Mater

By J.W.Crosley Arranged by Holly Parsons

For years together,

in our school,

Where all our hearts abide;

By graduation torn apart;

We’re scattered far and wide.

Yet, still, when two or three shall meet,

The mem’ries we’ll hold true;

We’ll sing about the Patriots;

In Silver, Green and Blue!
