From the Eagles’ Nest — Welcome from the Principal

Welcome to the 2018-19 school year. I hope each student and family has a very satisfying experience at Liberty North High School this year.

One very important characteristic of our school that helps with satisfaction and productivity is the desire to continue to work with all students and parents/guardians to make sure we communicate well and ensure a positive path of growth and development for each student. This communication is vital to helping each child find and develop his or her genius. Please plan to participate in parent events such as Open House, Parent Teacher Conferences and the myriad of school activities we have as best you can. Please take advantage of the Power School system with grade and attendance information for each student. Also, it will be helpful if you access the web site to find information regarding programs and accomplishments. This is a good way to stay informed about the many activities and accomplishments of our students. These and the normal email and phone calls go a long way in building the understanding and trust that forms a strong support system for each student.

We ask that you strongly consider joining the Eagle Club as well. This is another great way to be involved in and part of the experience at LNHS. You will greatly enjoy participating with this organization.

Welcome to our ninth year at LNHS home of the Eagles.

Martin K. Jacobs, Ed. D., Principal LNHS

The Club (referred to as LN Eagle Club) operates under the by-laws of the Missouri PTA. Any club, team, or organization at Liberty North has the option to participate in the LN Eagle Club. By joining forces as a PTSA and a Booster Club, we are able to work as one strong unified group to further the principles of each organization. The Liberty North Eagle Club offers you the perfect way to get involved in the school by being connected. The involvement can range from working in your child’s area of interest, working a concession stand, or leading a volunteer committee. It also serves as a wonderful way to get to know other parents, teachers, club sponsors, coaches, and administrators. To ensure that we have a successful year, your families’ support and involvement is critical to our organization. The Eagle Club meets during the school year the 2nd Wednesday of the month at 7pm and you can find the minutes and general information from each meeting posted on the Eagle Club website. August 8th, 2018 will be our first general meeting for the 2018-2019 school year.
