Pete Conrad, Board of Directors
Not only does our parental community remain steadfastly involved in children’s education, Liberty Common parents are incredibly generous with their time, talent, and treasure.
Liberty Common School
Out of the 3.5 million educators across America and tens of thousands in Colorado, the national spotlight shines brightly on one talented educator today: Chris Reynolds.
Brayden Lane, LCHS History Instructor
One of the greatest dangers facing the younger generations is the erosion of such opportunities brought about through our technologically-connected world. The paradox of their lives is we as a species are more connected than at any point in world history, and yet, we are more socially isolated and disconnected than ever before.
Chris Reynolds, LCHS Assistant Principal
Both Virginia Woolf and C.S. Lewis allegorically describe the disposition of a person in terms of whether they see themselves on the bench or in the dock.
Steve Ronen, Fourth-Grade Instructor
Our modern age allows access to comfort, distractions, leisure, and conveniences beyond imagining. And even the poorest American has a life quite luxurious compared with our ancestors of even 200 years ago. We often live lives devoid of existential challenges.
Mark Dollar, Board of Directors
As a community built on the principles of virtuous living, let’s take the opportunity to lead by example, demonstrating to our children patience and respect are just as essential in the school parking lot as they are in the classroom.
Paige Gowing, Librarian
If you’ve ever taken a gander at the Great Books lists and thought, “Oh, my,” with trepidation, then this article is for you. It’s true, Liberty Common’s Great Books lists are extensive and arguably intimidating. But they don’t have to be.

Congratulations to Liberty Common School's 2024-2025 Semester 1 Honor Roll Scholars
Frank Russel, Director of Athletics
The American-athletics model often promotes single-sport, high-level, year-round competition with the goal of earning a college scholarship. While this approach may seem appealing, it is fundamentally flawed when it comes to fostering athletic flourishing and proper development.
Kathleen Kearney, LCJHS Principal
For the past seven years, since beginning my employment at Liberty Common High School in 2018, I’ve had the opportunity to have a front-row seat to one of my favorite traditions at LCHS – the Senior Speakout.
Dr. Mindy Story, Board of Directors
There are multiple ways Liberty offers support to parents to explore the understanding of classical education and school philosophies. When parents understand these concepts themselves, they are appropriately armed to defend these beliefs in their households and in their community.
Brett Harkey, Director of Advancement
The composer Percy Grainger was born in Australia in 1882. He was educated in Germany and began his career as a pianist, composer, inventor, and pioneering ethnomusicologist in Great Britain before settling in the United States in 1914 to live out the rest of his life.
Bob Schaffer, Headmaster
Liberty Common students have doubled their footprints about the town. Yesterday, the school’s Board of Directors and its Building Corporation officially added two big properties to the previous two.
Elizabeth Barber, Board of Directors
Over the last few months, Liberty’s Board of Directors has been increasingly focused on the transitional junior-high years of 7th and 8th grades. We’ve previously announced facility plans and corresponding financing and fundraising efforts of the expansion, but every facet of the new campus is being carefully weighed and measured by a devoted and competent team of school professionals and parent volunteers.
Kallie Cooper, Communications Specialist
