Traditions and school pride are important to students at Liberty High School. They expect to win in athletics and succeed in academics and extracurriculars. As the editors of the Spectator wrote in the opening of their 2019 edition, “...we have the stats, students and spirit to back it up. Some may be surprised, but it’s just what we do.”
The theme phrase is first seen on the cover, and it’s an interesting combo of color and fonts. All six of the book’s theme colors, ranging from Sailboat Blue to Sunset Orange to Fruit Punch, are used on the words in the phrase, and then throughout the book on headlines and graphics.
The coverage is chronological and mostly sticks to the standard highlights of a Liberty High school year, but excels when it ventures out to the stories that made the 2019 school year unique, such as fans starting a new bell tradition at football games or the wrestling team having three state champions for the first time in school history.
