    Jackson Liberty High School provides many ways for students to get involved. There are numerous clubs, sports, and leadership opportunities to participate in. All of the above-mentioned activities are highly supported by the faculty and staff. There is lots of school spirit, pride, and dedication overall. The many departments at school take pride in the work they produce, especially the arts and the sciences. The whole school is covered in paintings, murals, and in nearly every hallway the students display their artwork. Further, a couple times a year the whole Art faculty hosts a museum, where artwork from all the students is displayed. The Science department takes pride in their STEM Academy. They compete in competitions, attend conferences, and work as a team to complete tasks. The whole school comes together, putting aside differences, backgrounds, and challenges to unite as one student body.

    Throughout my four years at Jackson Liberty, I grew as an individual, but lacked the proper preparation for college courses. I was heavily involved in Honor Societies and community service, all of which inspired me to continue to be involved in similar clubs in college. However, as a freshman in college, I have been able to note some of the downfalls of my education at Liberty. There was very little expectations from teachers as deadlines were often extended-something that is abstract in college. I also found that many teachers appeared to be more concerned about their personal class reputation rather than focusing on fair academic standards; I often found that students who did not work nor study ended with the same grade as myself due to extended late policies and extra credit. Overall, I set personal expectations that I believe helped me to succeed and build upon during my first semester of college, despite my lack of academic preparation in high school.
    It was alright. Good teachers! I liked my English teachers the best overall. Good at helping students, clean and nice school.
