**Exciting News for Our Band Program! 🎶**
We are thrilled to announce that our very own "Superman," Mr. McAfee, will be taking on an additional role as our new Band Teacher next year! 🎺🥁
Many of you know Mr. McAfee as the mastermind behind our successful technology department, but did you know he’s also a passionate musician? In high school, he played the tuba as part of the Liberty Eagles band, and now he's bringing that same energy and dedication to lead our band program.
With his big vision and love for music, we're confident Mr. McAfee will help our band soar to new heights! And don’t worry, he’ll still be keeping our tech running smoothly, with Mason Tharp assisting in the technology department.
**We invite you to take a trip down memory lane and try to spot Mr. McAfee in some old Liberty High School band photos!** You might even recognize other familiar faces from our school and community.
Please join us in supporting Mr. McAfee as he takes on this exciting new challenge. Let’s make this a year to remember for our band students!

The Mountain View-Birch Tree FFA is excited to announce that they have received a year long Living to Serve Grant from the National FFA. With this grant they will be addressing hunger by raising a few pigs to provide fresh pork and fresh eggs from our animals that are located on our school farm. These food items will be given to our local students and community members who are in need throughout the school year.
