hen a person enters Liberty North High School they often find themselves overwhelmed. As they walk down Eagle Avenue they see the many hallways, the high ceiling, the large lunch room, and the state of the art field house. This year when students exit the building they will be greeted by the newest addition to the school, trailers. To account for the large class of sophomores coming up to the school, trailers have been added for extra classroom space. The trailers will be located outside the field house. Mr. Clark and Mr. Gates will be teaching World History and Government in the trailers. Students at Liberty North have mixed emotions about trailers being added. Some believe they’re unnecessary and should not be needed to such a new school, others think they will do no harm to the learning environment. “I think it’s annoying because the school is so new, and it will be frustrating having a class in the trailer and having to walk in and out of the building,” junior Hannah Pirrello said. Many students are confused at why a brand new school needs to have trailers. Liberty North is gaining 316 students in the sophomore class this year. To accompany this, many trailers had to be added. “I think it’s silly that there are so few trailers. But I do believe that it is a perfectly fine learning environment,” senior Melissa Stockwell said. The trailers make for smaller class sizes which are more suitable for children and teenagers to learn in. “Having trailers means that we are gaining more students, and it’s great that our student body is growing bigger,” senior Hattie Zelenak said. This coming year Liberty North will have more students than ever. The student body will continue to grow and the school unity can only get stronger. Whether a student supports having trailers at Liberty North or not, the trailers will be there. We need the trailers and there is no way to get around them. The best interests of the students will be kept in mind as the faculty creates a quality learning environment.
