Emblems
The Liberty Common School seal is a central emblem encapsulating the institution’s values and mission. At its center is a rendition of a European fresco, The Wedding of Cana. In this depiction, a Roman woman fills empty vessels, symbolizing the school’s dedication to pouring knowledge into the minds of students. The three jars in the foreground represent the three stages of schooling—elementary, middle school, and high school—while the jars in the background signify alumni.
The woman wears an archetypal Greek or Roman headband and robe, with one foot slightly exposed as an homage to the iconic Statue of Liberty. Surrounding her are stars and a soaring eagle, symbolizing America and its values, underscoring the school’s commitment to fostering patriotism and civic duty.
Three pillars in the seal stand for the school’s motto: Common Knowledge, Common Virtue, and Common Sense. These core principles are essential to Liberty Common School’s educational philosophy. Torches within the design represent knowledge and leadership, further emphasizing the mission to equip students with the tools for success. All of these elements are set against a radiant sunrise, symbolizing the boundless potential of Liberty Common School’s students.
Alma Mater
The lyrics of Liberty Common School’s Alma Mater were composed in honor of the first Liberty Common High School graduating class, the Class of 2013, by LCHS’s first principal Bob Schaffer who later became Liberty’s Headmaster. The anthem’s phrases and poetic imagery include the school’s Capstone Virtues, its Keystone Virtue, school colors, a reference to the school mascot, and statements of school unity from the LCS mission statement, original Charter, and founding documents.
