I absolutely loved my time at Libertyville High School. The teachers are well learned and very approachable. They're flexible with their timing and willing to accommodate with my schedule... and were extremely nice! The clubs are good all around and suitable for many different personalities from debate club for the hardworking, ambitious kind to ultimate frisbee club for the chill, athletic kids. Everyone looks out for one another and the students are encouraged to be friendly as to follow the WIldcat Way. Overall, my years at LHS were amazing. There will always be a part of me connected to the school. Once a wildcat always a wildcat.

I loved going to LHS! The atmosphere was wonderful: lots of school spirit, everyone was friendly, and people/staff really care about you as a student and as a person. The school has a great diversity of students, and LHS makes it important for us to understand and enjoy the diversity. They offered a lot of different academics for everyone who each had their own career choices. Their were a wide verity of clubs and activities that all students could enjoy. The College Space, was wonderful and the staff was very informative, and really helped us become prepared for what lied ahead for us and our futures. The campus safety was great, the staff really got to know us students and became friends with us. I was a very picky eater, and they had a large variety of a lot of different meals, that was good very everyone. Overall, I will say I miss our football games and all the fun we had back at LHS. Those were the best years of my young life!
The staff at Libertyville high school are very approachable and are always willing and ready to help a student when needed. You can tell that all the teachers love what they do and love the community in which they do it in. I believe that "community" is what sets Libertyville High School apart from the rest. Residents from the town are involved within the school. Libertyville truly cares about the well being of every student, as faculty and staff are always looking out for the best interest of the student. Go Wildcats! And like always, live the wildcat way. #LVILLEPRIDE
