Greetings to Liberty Schools family
Greetings LCSS faculty, staff, and community members:
It is with great pleasure I will be your District 2 representative school board member.
Although politically, I represent District 2, I will represent and serve all Liberty County students. I look forward to another four years as your representative. During these trying times, leadership is essential. I want to thank Carolyn Carter-Smith for her leadership. Through her commitment, moral compass, and desire for students learning, she has proven that her impact on Liberty County School System will have a long-lasting effect on District 2 and Liberty County students. When the talk about naming buildings resurfaces, Mrs. Carter-Smith should be at the top of the list for her eight years on the school board and over 30 years in public education. Her example as a school board member who was always going to do what was best for kids is inspiring.
