What a night. Last evening, Liberty Common School and American Legacy Academy came together at Liberty Common High School for Legacy and Liberty—a Constitution Day celebration worthy of the document it honored.

Students from both schools filled the evening with music, recitations, activities, and presentations, bringing the founding principles to life. It was spectacular—and a fitting tribute from two schools that lead by teaching what liberty actually requires.

Our deepest thanks again to the public servants who gave their time in the breakout sessions:

U.S. Air Force Major Andrew Carpenter
Larimer County Sheriff John Feyen
PSD Board Member and attorney Kevin Havelda
Larimer County Judge Thomas Lynch
Representative Yara Zokaie

And to Headmaster Bob Schaffer for the keynote, Principal John Biner for the introduction, the Rocky Mountain Young Marines, every teacher and parent who made the evening possible, and—most of all—the scholars of LCS and ALA, who reminded us why this day still matters.

We the People.

Isaac Howe crafted the arch to match those located at the Plato campus and LCHS. The Aristotle campus will have its arch installed over the Christmas break. Thank you to Mr. Howe for the beautiful craftsmanship.
