Liberty High School (LHS) is a four-year public high school in Eldersburg in Carroll County, Maryland, United States at 5855 Bartholow Road. The current principal of the school is Kenneth Goncz.
Liberty High School was established in 1980 in Eldersburg, Maryland as part of the Carroll County Public Schools system.
The school's first graduation ceremony was held in 1982. Since that time, 32 classes have graduated from Liberty High School.
Liberty follows a class schedule different from that followed in the rest of the county. Each class meets every other day (every pre-determined "A" or "B" day), with four class periods each day. Thus, it takes a student two days to attend every one of their classes. Because of this schedule, 1 credit courses are often held the entire school year every other day, or every day for one semester. Courses worth .5 credit are held during 1 semester, every other day. Some courses, such as AP Calculus AB BC taken simultaneously, meet on both "A" and "B" days during the entire year, and thus are worth 2 credits.
As of June 2014, Liberty High School is ranked 59th in Maryland in administering Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) tests to students. Liberty High School's mascot is a lion. It is represented as an African lion; in comparison, Penn State College’s mascot, the Nittany Lions, is shown as a mountain lion, a species native to the United States. The school’s colors are the complementary colors blue and gold, or more accurately blue and yellow. The school motto is "Strive for Excellence".
In addition, LHS has five pillars of excellence, which consist of: Academics, Arts, Athletics, Community, and Service.
