Welcome to MVBT! Enrollment for New Students Begins August 4

Stay tuned for more details, but for now—be sure to save the date!

We’re proud to share that four of our Liberty High School juniors—Jihan Hester, Thomas Mansfield, Payton Glasscock, and Mathew Moore—recently attended the three-day Traction Leadership Conference sponsored by MODOT in Cape Girardeau!
They joined over 100 high school students from across Missouri, all united by a powerful mission: to help prevent teen deaths on Missouri highways.
Throughout the conference, our students participated in impactful workshops focused on leadership, highway safety, and advocacy. In the evenings, they enjoyed good, clean team-building fun, including the Traction Olympics—a high-energy event designed to build trust, teamwork, and school spirit.
We’re excited to announce that our students took home FIRST PLACE in the Traction Olympics! Their teamwork, enthusiasm, and leadership truly stood out.
We’re incredibly proud of these students for representing our district with purpose and passion.

6th Graders and Parents: Save the Date!

A HUGE congratulations to Teytam McClellan and Taylor Manley for placing 4th at Educators Rising Nationals in the Pre-K Children’s Literature division! Competing against over 50 of the very best from across the country and earning a top-5 finish is nothing short of astounding. Your hard work, creativity, and passion for early literacy shone through, and we couldn’t be prouder of this amazing feat!
To all of our other national competitors: while the results may not have gone our way in every division, making it to nationals is itself a tremendous accomplishment. You represented us with excellence, dedication, and heart—and that is something to celebrate! We are so proud of each and every one of you.



National Recognition for Liberty’s Taylen Luster!
We are thrilled to share that Taylen Luster has placed 2nd in the nation in the 9th Grade French competition at the National BETA Convention in Orlando, Florida!
This is an outstanding accomplishment that reflects Taylen’s hard work, academic talent, and dedication. Competing—and placing—at the national level is no small feat, and we are incredibly proud of this achievement!
Taylen was one of eight Liberty students who earned the honor of attending this prestigious event, where top BETA members from across the country come together to compete, lead, and grow. Just being selected to attend the National BETA Convention is a mark of excellence—and Taylen’s performance truly raised the bar.
Way to go, Taylen! You’ve made Liberty and the entire MVBT community proud!
