The Liberty Elementary / High School Reunion Association assumes the goals of preserving the memories of "The Liberty School of Hazard, Kentucky" and its predecessor, “The Higgins High School of Vicco, Kentucky", among their alumni, former students, friends, supporters, and all persons of goodwill. The Association purposes to accomplish this worthy goal by sponsoring school reunions to bring these unique individuals together for fellowship, renewal of friendships and acquaintances, for communion, and to have a good time; by erecting, dedicating, and maintaining memorials to the memory of Liberty, by publishing newsletters to be distributed among the Liberty community, by establishing and granting scholarships to deserving recipients, and by soliciting donations or conducting fund raising activities in support of the Association's missions.

CHARTER OF THE LIBERTY SCHOOL REUNION ASSOCIATION
- Preamble: A group of Liberty High alumni: Mabel Martin, Anita Davis, Lillian Olinger, and Chester Rose, assembled in Hazard, Kentucky on July 4, 1994 and reached consensus that the memory, spirit, and legacy of Liberty High School, the second Afro—American High School established in Perry County, Kentucky in 1936, should be remembered, cherished, preserved and perpetuated in perpetuity to its students, alumni, supporters, and friends for as long as there are memories. To that end, this group of alumni decided to form themselves into the Liberty High School Reunion Association for which this Charter is adopted.
Purpose of the Association
- The Liberty School Reunion Association shall serve to strengthen the bond of memories among its alumni, former students, friends, and well-wishers, of our dear beloved Liberty High School. The Association shall support activities to encourage broad and active participation by all members of the Liberty School community and to assist the Association in becoming a strong, viable, and community oriented organization, of which we can all take pride in.
