Liberty Ranch High School celebrates first-ever graduating class

Like birds who have grown strong and are ready to leave the nest, 195 Liberty Ranch Hawks graduated as the school's first-ever class Friday, but Principal Brian Deis reminded the students they could always come back for a visit.

"Class of 2012, know that you are special," he said in his address to the graduates. "Think of Liberty Ranch as home, and as long as I'm principal, know that you are always welcome home."
