Scheduling and Course Selection

Course Request Welcome

This is designed to provide access to course request materials for the 2026-2027 school year and to help students plan and make decisions for courses in their educational career plan. (ECP)

This is intended to provide information related to the course  request process at LHS. Beginning in November, School Counselors will meet with students to discuss courses for the 2026-2027 school year. In January, school counselors from Liberty High School will visit Oklahoma Road Middle School to meet with 8th grade students and guide them through the course request process.  A virtual evening program will also be available to 8th grade parents about course registrations in January to review the process.  For those missing this virtual presentation, it will be recorded and available on our website, viewable as a mp4 file.

Here you can find information for each grade level for parents and students to see all that LHS has to offer!  Please visit your student's grade level to assist in making decisions about course requests and educational planning leading to college and career readiness for each student.  

Letter to 8th Grade Parents

Dear Parents / Guardians of the class of 2030,

As we approach the midpoint of this school year, plans are already being made for next year’s schedule.  An important component of that planning is our course request process.  As a parent of an incoming 9th grade student, we believe it is important to provide a means for you to be an integral part of planning for your student’s course requests as well as their successful transition to high school.  Over winter break, core academic teachers at Oklahoma Road made course and level recommendations for students in their classes. The teacher recommendations will be shared with you as valuable input in making scheduling decisions.

Counselors from Liberty High School will be visiting Oklahoma Road Middle School on Wednesday, January 14th to meet with 8th grade students in small groups.  They will provide an overview of graduation requirements and guide them through the beginning of the course request process.  As a “newcomer” to the orientation process, you are cordially invited to our Virtual 8th grade parent information night on Wednesday, January 14th beginning promptly at 6:00pm.  This information session presented virtually will explain the course selection process and there will be an opportunity for questions and answers at the end of our presentation.  We expect to conclude the virtual presentation at approximately 6:45pm.  If you are unable to attend this evening, please know it will be recorded and may be accessed on the LHS School Counseling website as a resource within a day or two.  26/27 course request forms are due to ORMS no later than Friday January 23, 2026.

One final important event for course requests will be ORMS Conference Night on January 22nd between 3:30 and 6:30. Liberty School Counselors will be available to answer any questions and make any final adjustments to the course requests.  We look forward to welcoming your incoming 9th grader(s) (Class of 2030) to Liberty High School and working with you to plan for their success. Additional transition opportunities such as 9th grade orientation, building tours, etc. with dates and times will be forthcoming.

Sincerely,

Mr. Kenneth J. Goncz, Principal

Mrs. Meghan Humbert, Assistant Principal

Mr. Chris Merson, Assistant Principal

From Requests to Scheduling—Frequently Asked Questions 

  • Are the course requests the classes I will be taking? Yes and no. The course requests represent the classes that students would like to take. However, there are courses requested each year that do not have sufficient requests in order to run. A majority of students receive all of the courses requested. However, there are some who need to make replacement choices or receive alternate courses.
  • Why does my student need to choose alternate courses? Alternate courses are selected so that in the event a requested course does not run or will not fit into a student’s schedule we are able to substitute a course in its place. It is important that all alternate courses are classes the student would be willing to take if scheduled.
  • How many students need to request a course for it to run? Each year we are given a number of available staff for the building. We build our schedule to maximize course offerings. If there is a significant interest and available staff, we will make every effort to run a course.
  • How can I see course requests? Course requests are available in Home Access Center in mid-February.  An email alert will be sent home when course requests are available to view.
  • When will my student receive his/her schedule? Building a master schedule is a process. It takes approximately 2 months to build our school’s master schedule. Our goal is to have student schedules ready for distribution by the conclusion of the school year, but they will be available to view in Home Access Center in early August. If a schedule change is required, there is a form and only certain circumstances to honor a schedule change.
