LHS Art Honor Society Students share love of art, art kits with community
Students in Liberty High School’s National Art Honor Society held a Family Holiday Photo Shoot for two days in November to raise funds for Art Kits for children at the Liberty House Children’s Home.
The students used their advanced photography skills to pose and light the families in one of two settings with props, holiday backgrounds and a whole lot of spirit.
The students took the funds raised from the 20 families who participated and designed art kits, including bags, sketchbooks, journals and supplies, and assembled them with the hopes that other children would have a way to express themselves.
The Holiday Photo shoot was just one of the ways students raised money to complete this project. They designed bookmarks from their original artworks, laminated, decorated and sold them as well.
In December, the NAHS was able to hand over 30 completed kits to Anissa Avery, a representative of the home just in time for the holidays.
The members of the NAHS are President Jhosmery Jadan Pangolo, Vice President Savannah Pagan, Treasurer Sebastian Yupanqui, Secretary Cassandra Porter and members Giuliana Wagner and Lucio Ponce Vasquez.
In the past year, these students have volunteered for the Liberty Elk’s Holiday Photo shoots, worked to create a foods mural at the Liberty Elementary School as part of the Liberty Wellness Committee Grant projects, painted birdhouses as part of the Sullivan 180 White Sulphur Springs Beautification grant, painted the White Sulphur Springs Lending Library and made Valentine’s for the Sunset Care Center.
“They are truly sharing their passion for the arts with those around them,” club adviser Kath Johansen said.

A post-winter break message from the superintendent
Dear Liberty,
I want to welcome you back from what I hope was a restful and relaxing winter break. As we enter 2026, I would like to reshare the district’s chain of command calling guide, along with some reminders and updates as school is back in session.
DASA and Safety
As previously mentioned, safety is always of utmost importance, and we are committed to providing a safe environment for students, staff, and visitors. Please take a moment to review the district’s safety measures and visitor procedures.
I would also like to remind you about our Anonymous Alerts system, which allows students and families to report concerns regarding safety or bullying. Furthermore, we continue to utilize the Gaggle platform to monitor student internet usage and alert officials to concerning searches or messages. Ultimately, both programs support our commitment to the Dignity for All Students Act and overall safety
Looking Back and Moving Forward
As we move forward, I want to look back at the start of the school year. We have visited classrooms throughout the district and seen some amazing things. Our building administrators, teachers and staff have been working diligently to create engaging learning opportunities aligned with the district’s curriculum.
In addition, we have seen our students enhance their leadership skills by leveraging our Leader In Me program and taking part in extracurricular activities. Moreover, students have taken steps to impact the Liberty school community and beyond by working with A Single Bite and Sullivan 180, planting daffodils with our Liberty Middle School FFA, performing at our winter concerts and the Sullivan County Government Center, taking part in the LPA’s production of All Shook Up, competing in interscholastic sports, and more.
As the school year continues, we look forward to ongoing learning opportunities for our students. We continue to work towards our yearly and long-term goals, helping our students innovate and persevere for the remainder of this year and beyond.
Finally, I invite you to revisit our Strategic Plan page, which details our pillars of Coherence, Multi-Tiered Systems of Support, Curriculum, and Culture. We are also sharing this year’s District Comprehensive Improvement Plan outlining our goals for the 2025-2026 school year, along with the presentation from the opening day forum regarding our latest educational programs.
We sincerely appreciate your ongoing commitment to our schools and the entire Liberty Central School District community.
Dr. Patrick Sullivan
