Several Liberty Eagles in grades 4–12 filled three theater rooms at the Glass Sword Cinema on Monday morning to celebrate their success on the 2024–2025 MAP and EOC assessments!
We are so proud of our students who scored Proficient or Advanced last year. While not all advanced and proficient student could attend, we missed celebrating with those who couldn’t join us.
We were able to capture one group picture to remember this special day—even though three theaters were packed full of our amazing students!
Eagles, you rock!

We’re excited to launch Champions Club, an inclusive baseball program where high school buddies team up with K–5 students who receive special education services. Together, we’ll play baseball, build friendships, and make memories on and off the field.
Practice: October 4
Games: Oct. 11, 18, & 25 (3 innings or 1.5 hours each)
Cost: $10 per player or volunteer (includes team shirt)
All players will join either the Blue Champions 💙 or the Yellow Champions 💛 — because here, every buddy’s a champion on the field!

It was a busy week full of fun learning activities and making new friends for BTE Preschool students!
We tried to snap some pictures of one of our MVBT Preschool classes on the playground, but it’s tough to catch these little learners being still.
These kiddos have 13–14 years ahead of them as Liberty Eagles, and we are so excited to be part of their journey.
It's been a great first week in PK!

Eagles Showed Up Big for a Better Together Kick-off on Tuesday Evening!
We want to thank all of the amazing vendors who lined the track to welcome students and families to a brand-new school year. A special shout-out to West Plains Bank for feeding the crowd and to Daniel Seitz, Senator Brad Hudson's Chief of Staff, along with Representative Lisa Durnell and Representative Keith Elliott, who greeted families at the entrance. The Howell County Health Department was also on hand helping students get caught up on vaccines.
Our staff were there to welcome their new students and reconnect with past ones. The Board of Education and Mrs. Tharp greeted families at the entrance with school year calendar magnets and wristbands. Parents also had the opportunity to speak with our transportation department, school nurses, and administrators to make sure students were ready for the first day of school.
A huge thank-you goes out to the teachers who served on the Back to School Kick-off Committee and worked tirelessly throughout the summer to make this event a success. Your hard work and dedication set the tone for an amazing year ahead.
Most importantly, we want to thank our families for showing up for the event and helping their children get off to a great start. Your presence makes all the difference!
From the first smile at the gate to the last goodbye of the evening, our Kick-off reminded us that we are always Better Together! We are looking forward to seeing all of our Liberty Eagles back in school on Monday!

Today, all MVBT R-III employees gathered at Liberty High School to kick off the new school year. We were welcomed by board members Eric Wells and Josh Roberts.
The photo may be a little hard to see, but everyone standing is a proud Liberty High School graduate. The majority of our staff have been lifelong Liberty Eagles! We are grateful for all employees who have landed here at MVBT for the 2025-2026 school year!
Following a short meeting, our staff enjoyed a delicious taco lunch provided by the Mountain View Christian Church. A big thank you to the church for blessing our team with such a wonderful meal as we start the year!
Before this school year officially begins, we want to spotlight the seven members of the Mountain View-Birch Tree R-III Board of Education!
These are the people who give their time, talents, and hearts to help guide our schools. They make important decisions about policies, budgets, and resources. Most importantly, they work to ensure every student in our district has the opportunity to succeed.
