Liberty High School is a public high school located in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, in the United States. Liberty is the larger of two public high schools in the Bethlehem Area School District, with Freedom High School being the other. Liberty's current attendance area includes students from the City of Bethlehem, Fountain Hill, Freemansburg, and Hanover Township. In the 2014-2015 academic year, Liberty High School had 2,749 students and 156 full-time teachers.〔http://www-lhs.beth.k12.pa.us/2010_11.profile/2014-2015_LHS_Profile.pdf〕 Graduation takes place annually at Stabler Arena. Liberty High School holds football games and other sporting events at the Frank Banko Field at the Bethlehem Area School District Stadium. ==History== Liberty High School was built in 1918 and opened in 1922 under the name "Bethlehem High School".〔(LHS Profile )〕 It is located in the geographical center of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, in the Lehigh Valley region of the state. As the school started nearing its capacity, the Bethlehem Area School District established a second high school, Freedom High School, and renamed the original school "Liberty High School" as a memorial to the Liberty ships that returned to Pennsylvania after World War I. Liberty High School served all of Bethlehem until Freedom High School was built. Afterwards, Center City, Pembroke, and South Side residents attended Liberty while Bethlehem Township and Hanover Township residents went to Freedom. Adjustments have been made to these borders however, and Liberty now has students from Hanover, Center City, Pembroke and some of South Side (with some South Side residents attending the Freedom school). Up until Liberty's recent remodel, the school was composed of three classroom buildings, two buildings with four floors and one science center with two. Over the years, several renovations have been performed on the school, with the most recent being an overhaul of the main building, along with the construction of a new student activity center. Currently Liberty High School's Main building (Common's Building) is currently home to the Freshman Center. It is a new program established in 2013 meant to help freshmen make the transition the high school a little easier. Students there are now following a different schedule than the 10-12 graders attending Liberty. All freshmen take classes in the 2nd and 3rd floor of the commons building and travel for gym, business and sciences classes. It was developed due to the fact that freshmen typically struggle academically with such a big transition from middle school. This is the first time Liberty High School has done something like this in its history. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Liberty High School (Bethlehem, Pennsylvania)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
