The Freshman Orientation to Leadership is a half credit course designed to assist incoming freshman to acclimate to high expectations and rigor of the upcoming high school experience and what comes beyond. The cornerstone of the class is the tenets of the Seven Habits of the Leader in Me program. The Leader in me is an evidence-based, comprehensive model that builds leadership and life skills in students, creates a high-trust school culture, and lays the foundation for sustained academic improvement. Students will also be instructed in how to utilize the seven habits to promote their own leadership and self advocacy skills. This course is a direct support of our mission to graduate lifelong learners who have been empowered through the collaborative efforts of the school, parents, and community. Furthermore, this course will help achieve our vision at Liberty High School, which is to be a safe learning community that celebrates our achievements and encourages active partnerships with families and the entire community. We will be a collaborative partnership preparing students who are college and career-minded, who are prepared to embrace the challenges and opportunities of the future.
