A Message from Mr. Motal
I am thankful for the trust from the board of trustees to lead Liberty Hill through this time of transition. Liberty Hill ISD has the best students, teachers and parents to work with. Collectively, I am confident we will all continue to work together to keep Liberty HIll ISD students as champions in academics, character and community.
Over the past 6 years in LHISD where I have served as principal , director, chief and now superintendent, it has been the greatest pleasure to see our students excel. I have been able to see firsthand when our staff work with parents to ensure students grow year after year to fulfill our mission to build students into future ready graduates empowered to be the best version of themselves.
This past May, watching students that I worked with day to day as principal walk across the stage headed towards their futures was an inspiring and powerful moment. I look forward to continuing this journey with everyone as we work in collaboration to provide the best for our students, staff, parents and community.
