Meet the Board

Education (primarily K-8) is the foundation for nearly everything in life. As students progress through the Liberty Elementary School District, they begin to learn new and exciting things that will lead to mastering skills that will last them a lifetime.  As we look out in the world and identify heroes such as doctors, scientists, firefighters, police officers, military personnel, and many others, educators are often overlooked.  It is those educators who put forth a tremendous amount of effort to ensure we have prepared today’s students to be tomorrow's leaders.  Educators are truly heroes. As a Governing Board member, I believe we must never lose sight of the task and responsibility we are entrusted by the taxpayer.  We must ensure that we establish policies that ensure the very best educational opportunities and atmosphere for our students and staff.  I believe that schools should be community anchor points.  We must always look for new and effective ways of providing the best education in our community. The best investment you will ever make is in the education of a child.  I look forward to following the students of the Liberty Elementary School District throughout their lives as they conquer amazing goals and achievements.

We are so blessed to live in the United States of America!  In our wonderful nation, every child has the opportunity not only to become educated but prepared for the next chapter in their lives. 

Primary education gives children the ability to acquire the basic and fundamental skills needed to be successful in any kind of continuing education.  Children have shown themselves to be most successful with their education when they have support.  Support from parents, teachers and friends is crucial to their ability to learn. 

I believe that the Liberty Elementary School District strives hard to provide safe environments for robust learning.  I look forward to working with our district administration and fellow board members as we meet every challenge and clear paths for better student success!

Mr. Kenyon is a devout Christian and puts his faith above all else.  Along with being a Pastor, Mr. Kenyon has worked in many different fields in the private sector, such as cabinet shops, medical field, and the social services field.  No matter what he is doing, Mr. Kenyon is always looking out for the best interest of parents and children.

All children, regardless of their race, economic status and background deserve access to a quality education. I believe in the power of public education. Educators who are dedicated to this cause deserve to be properly compensated and acknowledged for teaching, guiding, mentoring, and encouraging their students for a life-long love of learning. The decisions made by the Board affect all and impact all. I believe in open and honest expression of views by all members of our school community, in an environment of mutual respect. I also feel that a quality public education is the key to a stronger, safer and more stable community.

ALL children are capable of learning and succeeding! Children learn at different rates and strategies. With the proper instruction methods,
we can create an environment where children thrive to explore, learn and succeed, both academically and emotionally.

Education should not be solely academic; the student must learn the life skills needed to be successful in solving complex problems as well as mentally preparing them for social interaction.
Instruction needs to be multi-faceted, and must reach visual learners,
auditory learners, and kinesthetic learners in the classroom.

Technology must become a priority in the classroom; we must modify our instruction priority to make basic computer coding and graphic
arts part of the S.T.E.M. platform.

I believe teachers should not be alone in educating students; Parents,
families and communities need to work together to support and enrich
the lives of their children.
