Background

Liberty High School was established in 2013 as the Wentzville School District's third high school. The school's first principal, Phil Ragusky, had been the principal of the feeder school, Frontier Middle School. [5]

During the 2013–2014 school year, the school only consisted of freshmen. [3] [4] Each consecutive year another class has been added. The 2016–2017 school year was the first with all four classes present in the building.

For the 2015–2016 school year, Liberty hired a new principal and assistant principal, Edgar Nelson and Steven Pryor. [6] Nelson was previously an Assistant Principal at Holt High School, and now serves as Liberty's Head Principal. Pryor previously served as an Assistant Principal at Washington High School. For the 2016–2017 school year, Liberty and the Wentzville School District announced that teachers Lindsay Sutherlin and Matthew Keisel would become assistant principals.
