Greetings, Liberty Eagles Family!
I am honored to serve as the Principal of this amazing school for the second year. With 18 years of experience in education and 7 years in school leadership, I have had the privilege of working in various educational settings, including schools in Hawaii. These experiences have deeply ingrained in me the importance of family, a value that we hold dear at Liberty.
At Liberty Elementary, we strive to cultivate a culture where every student feels a strong sense of belonging. Our valued set of Expectations—S.O.A.R.—guides our efforts: we encourage our Eagles to be Self-disciplined, Outstanding in everything they do, Accountable, and Respectful. By fostering these qualities, we aim to create an environment where each student can thrive and reach their highest potential.
Our administrative team, and office, maintains an open-door policy to make ourselves accessible to the school community and ensure that we are available to meet your needs. We encourage you to stop by and say “hello” whether you come in-person, call, or email. We’re here for you and look forward to partnering with you and supporting your child’s success.
In addition, I have a family of my own that means the world to me and who I reserve all of my available time to outside of being a Principal at Liberty. I am married to my beautiful wife, Patti, and have two amazing daughters. My oldest daughter, Aza, is on the Dance Team at Tarleton State University, and my youngest daughter, Zoe, is headed to Briarhill Middle School in the Fall. They both attended LISD schools and are thriving! I can’t say enough about how incredible LISD is, and I am confident that your child is in the right place.
Liberty is a special place, and together, we are committed to helping each of our Eagles fly high!
Sincerely,
Matt Rainey
Principal, Liberty Elementary
Dear Liberty Elementary School Families,
I am excited to be part of the Liberty Elementary School leadership team as the assistant principal and appreciate this opportunity to share your child’s early educational experiences. This year marks my 21th year of being employed by LISD. During this time, I have taught Kindergarten, first & third grade at Parkway Elementary, and as the Dyslexia Interventionist at Hebron Valley Elementary. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies (specializing in Early Childhood thru Sixth grade) from the University of North Texas and a Masters in Administration with a Principal Certification from Concordia University.My husband Sam and I are products of the LISD educational program, graduating from Marcus High School. This summer, we celebrated our 19th anniversary. We have beautiful 15-year-old twins, Peyton and Rylie, who also attend school in LISD. Our family enjoys doing things together, such as supporting the girls in their sports and community activities. We also enjoy going to the beach, swimming, playing outside, snow skiing, and hanging out with our family and friends. My interest includes crafting, cooking and making royal icing cookies for special occasions.
It is truly a privilege to be part of a community where parents, teachers, and students care for each other and strive to build positive relationships that support academic and social growth. I am honored to serve Liberty Elementary School and look forward to supporting your children to become “Future Ready.” Please feel free to contact me at 972-350-5905 or coxk@lisd.net.
Sincerely,
Kimberly Cox
Assistant Principal
Hello, Liberty Family!
I am thrilled to be joining the administrative team at Liberty Elementary this year! This is my 16thyear in education and I have no plans to change careers any time soon!
I started as a Kindergarten, 1st grade, and 3rd grade teacher for 7 years before moving into school leadership positions in several Texas districts. I was most recently at Bluebonnet Elementary in LISD for the past 2 years.
Family means the world to me, and I am so lucky to have been married to my wife, Lauren, for 13 years. We have one son, Oliver, who is in the 4th grade here at Liberty!
It is a joy to get to come to school each day to watch your student learn! We are all about striving for excellence in all we do through our S.O.A.R. expectations.
I am serving at another LISD campus as well, so I will be at Liberty on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and the afternoon on Fridays.
I look forward to getting to know you and your family this year as we venture “on the right track” together! If you need anything at all, please contact me at gilbertj@lisd.net or 469-713-5958.
Sincerely,
Jeremy Gilbert, Assistant Principal
