School Leadership

Principal's Welcome: Liberty Elementary

I am thrilled to welcome you to Liberty Elementary, where my journey as principal is driven by a profound passion for enhancing the world through quality education. My daily motivation stems from working as a team to prioritize students to optimize their growth and success.

As a Big Lake native, I deeply understand the commitment of our remarkable teachers and staff, and the unwavering support from parents, guardians, local businesses, and the community. Together, we can forge a robust partnership for the benefit of our students.

At Liberty Elementary, we foster a safe, nurturing environment, ensuring all students feel valued and supported. Our focus is on elevating achievement and instilling a love for learning by empowering students to pursue their dreams. Together, we cultivate imagination and creativity, inspiring both students and staff to reach their highest potential.

Our dedicated staff, committed to supporting the whole child, exemplify the strong sense of family we’ve come to know in our school. A hallmark of our institution is the explicit literacy program rooted in brain science, aiming to cultivate capable readers with a genuine love for reading. We prioritize the holistic growth of students through teaching essential social and emotional skills, evident in our vibrant school culture.

I am excited and eager for our collaborative effort to create an exceptional learning experience for our students, making a lasting impact on their lives and helping them reach their fullest potential.
