Why IT Matters….
Letter from a father. His daughter’s principal is a UOPX alumni.
“…without her dedication and determination my daughter would have not graduated high school. Her continued "never give up, you are not quitting on me, your family or yourself" attitude is refreshing in today's public education system and within Liberty High School. It is with tears in my eyes that I reminisce on how she instilled "peace of mind" every time I was in contact with her and how she motivated us not to give up, that I was not in this alone!!”
