Liberty Creek High School is one of three public high schools in Gallatin, Tennessee.
History
[edit]By 2018, Gallatin had five schools at or over capacity: Howard Elementary School, Station Camp Elementary School, Station Camp Middle School, Rucker Stewart Middle School, and Gallatin High School.[3] In response, Sumner County Schools released plans for a new cluster of schools in October 2019, which included Liberty Creek High School, along with an elementary school and a middle school of the same name.[4]
The school board unanimously approved a construction bid for the campus in November 2019.[5] Phillip Holt was chosen to be Liberty Creek's first principal.[6] The school opened on August 1, 2022, serving students from grades 6–12. Students in grades 6–8 moved to the Liberty Creek Middle School campus after construction was completed in 2024.[7]
