 As Liberty grew into a major suburb of the Kansas City Metropolitan Area, the district built a new facility near Interstate 35, about one mile (1.6 km) west of the downtown area, and converted the previous facility to Liberty Junior High.In 2010, Liberty Public Schools founded its second high school, Liberty North High School separating the graduating classes of 2012 and 2013 to travel across town to 104th Street, along A Highway, a few miles north of LHS.Although a major change for the district, it was a necessary one for overcrowding and class size issues.
