Liberty Central School District Mission:

To inspire all students to pursue their dreams and to contribute and thrive in a diverse community.

About Liberty Central School District:

Liberty Central School District is located in the Village of Liberty, in Sullivan County, nestled in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains. The district serves 1,625 students from five surrounding townships, plus the village and town of Liberty. Those towns include: Rockland, Fallsburg, Neversink, Thompson and Bethel.

The district is made up of three schools, Liberty Elementary, Liberty Middle School and Liberty High School. The district offers courses of study for students in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, and has two campuses.

A main focus of instruction at Liberty focuses around the district-wide PBIS program, or Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports. PBIS focuses on students’ positive behavior and encourages students to take responsibility for their actions and for their school.

The elementary school is located at 201 North Main Street. The middle and high schools are located at 145 and 125 Buckley St., less than a half-mile from the elementary school. A district-wide $35.8 million building project was started in 2009 and was completed in 2011.

Liberty Elementary School:

Built in 1911, the original building was a kindergarten through 12th grade school and later became the elementary school when the high school was built in 1963. It now is the home to Liberty’s pre-kindergarten through fourth-grade. A diverse and rich curriculum is anchored firmly by a strong language arts curriculum. Students also learn character education (PBIS), where four core district-wide expectations (‘Be Respectful’, ‘Be Responsible’, ‘Be There, Be Ready’ & ‘Follow Directions’) are taught, practiced and modeled in all areas of school life. The building project at the elementary school, completed in 2012, includes the addition of eight classrooms on two floors, a new cafeteria, new media center, renovated bathrooms, new windows and roofing, new parking lots and an expanded playground.
