I am excited to announce that Liberty Elementary scored GOOD on the latest 2023 South Carolina School Report Card Ranking. The state of South Carolina ranks elementary schools on various indicators such as academic achievement, student growth, preparing for success, climate, multi-lingual learners, classroom environment, state goals, safety, and financial data. A GOOD ranking means Liberty Elementary School's performance exceeds the state required criteria to ensure all students meet the Profile of the SC Graduate. I am extremely proud of our students, our teachers, and our community for this achievement. We are truly a school where students: Learn, Achieve, Belong, and Serve! We are LABS!
Sincerely,
Dr. J. Lowell Haynes
Principal
Liberty Elementary School

National Beta Club Wins National Service Award
The National Beta club at Liberty Elementary has proudly been named a 2023 National Beta All Star Service award winner. The club earned this award by spending an average of 50-75 hours per member serving their school, community, and state this year.
As one of the four pillars of National Beta, service is encouraged to help students learn to demonstrate the motto: Let Us Lead by Serving Others. By showing dedication to service, Liberty Elementary Betas helped contribute to over 1,462,313 hours served by clubs across the nation this year. Collectively, Betas also raised $1,239,182 for various organizations and charities. The club at Liberty Elementary joins a group of only 106 other schools to earn the award this year.
“One of our core values at Liberty Elementary is that we believe in serving others. The students in our Beta Club are leading the way by demonstrating this to their peers. I am very proud of them! A big thank you to Mrs. Edens, Mrs. Gibson, Mrs. Haley, and Mrs. Gunnels for doing a tremendous job helping lead these students.”
- Dr. J. Lowell Haynes, Principal of Liberty Elementary
Members will each receive a commemorative pin and the club will receive a plaque to proudly display in their school.
