Liberty High School is a high school in Henderson in the U.S. state of Nevada. It is part of the Clark County School District. Before the school opened, prospective students chose the name "Liberty" and the school mascot "The Patriot" through a survey mailed to their homes. This was largely chosen due to the recent terrorist attacks. Liberty's team name is the Patriots. Liberty considers itself to be a "classical school." This is because through Liberty's curriculum, one can study Latin, as well as focus on the history and society of ancient Rome and Greece.
The Liberty Patriots compete in the Southeast Division of the Sunrise 4A Region. Through most of the school's history, the athletic department used the Pat Patriot logo used by the New England Patriots from 1971–92. Recently, the school has adopted a logo similar to that used by the athletic program at Southern New Hampshire University. Their Varsity Quiz Program is a staple part of their school with former captain Rei Vital (2014-2015) bringing the team to the championships
Liberty's band, known as the "Sound of Liberty" during their marching season, has won many awards and competitions throughout the years that they have been competing. The Sound of Liberty Marching Band has been a finalist at the Sounds Across the Valley Nevada Championships consistently throughout their recent history. The marching band supports the school by performing at football games, basketball games, pep rallies, and school assemblies. The band is currently under the direction of Mr. Travis Whaley. The Color Guard program is under the direction of Mrs. Cristy Stephens.
The band program offers concert band and marching band classes all year round to provide a well rounded, competitive education to its students. The programs offered at Liberty High School currently are:
1. Marching Band (Sound of Liberty)
2. Advanced Concert Band (Wind Ensemble)
