The new year is a time for reflecting on the accomplishments of 2023, and is also a time of great excitement for what 2024 will bring. The 2023-2024 school year has certainly been special. As a community we celebrated the opening of our new prek-8, and we will soon be saying goodbye to our old facilities on State Route 12. To preserve the heritage of our old campus for future generations of eagles, several measures have been taken.
- The letters from the old gymnasium floor spelling out Liberty-Benton have been framed and will be displayed in the high school gym
- The original bronze commemoration plaque from the 1921 building will be mounted on the wall next to the commemoration plaque on the auditorium all for the new prek-8
- The stone badging on top of the 1921 building “1921 Liberty TWP Centralized School” will be preserved and incorporated somewhere on our new campus
- Bricks from the old 1921 building will be preserved and made available to our public
I am proud of the accomplishments of our students, staff, performing arts programs, and athletic teams and can’t wait to see what future accomplishments we will achieve together in 2024!
Happy New Year!
Bruce Otley
