Why is our volunteer process so rigorous?

Because nothing is more important than student safety and protecting instructional time.

We know becoming an MVBT volunteer involves a thorough screening process—similar in many ways to becoming an employee. These procedures help ensure our students are safe and that every volunteer is prepared to support our schools in a positive way.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and willingness to serve our students. We appreciate every volunteer who partners with us.

Stronger Schools. Stronger Communities. Moving Forward Together.

Please fill this out. Make sure each item is given its own number when ranking importance.

We've received nearly 200 responses to our Facilities Survey, but that's only a small portion of the people who care about the future of our schools and community. Our goal is 500+ responses, and we need your help to get there!

Whether you're a student, parent, grandparent, staff member, alumni, business owner, church member, retiree, or community supporter, your opinion matters.

The future of our schools should be shaped by the people who know and love this community. Don't miss your chance to share what you believe is most important for our students and the Liberty Eagles.

Take the survey.
Share the survey.
Encourage others to participate.

Every response helps ensure that the voices of our community are represented in future planning and decision-making.

500+ responses is the goal. Let's get there together!
