Thank you to our WHS Student Council and FCA for organizing a truly special event to commemorate the tragic day, 25 years ago, Sept. 11, 2001.
Our students, with the help of our staff, organized a walk to commemorate the lives lost on Sept. 11, 2001. Students donated money and then walked in the gym to symbolize all the steps our first responders took as they moved in and out of the collapsing towers that terrible morning! After each lap, a student got a different name/picture of one of the victims who passed away on that tragic morning, 25 years ago.
Thank you to everyone who planned, participated, and donated! We were able to raise over $1,200 to donate to the Selma Fire Department!

At Wapahani High School, we believe a student’s ZIP code should never limit their opportunities.
Through the programs offered at Wapahani and our partnerships with the Muncie Area Career Center and RAZ-32, our students have access to nearly 30 graduation pathways. These opportunities span healthcare, skilled trades, agriculture, technology, education, business, public safety, and more.
This is what collaboration looks like in rural education.
No rural school can provide every pathway alone. But when schools share resources, expertise, facilities, and a commitment to students, we can create opportunities far beyond what any one district could offer independently.
We are incredibly grateful for our partners and proud of what we are building together. Our students deserve choices, meaningful experiences, and a clear path toward enrollment, employment, or enlistment.
Local schools. Shared opportunities. Bright futures.

Why Attendance Matters - Showing up matters more than ever.
Under Indiana’s new accountability model, regular attendance is a Student Success Indicator at every assessed grade level.
To earn credit, a student must be present for at least 94% of enrolled instructional days. In a traditional 180 day school year, missing more than approximately 10 days could prevent a student from meeting the attendance target.
Every absence represents missed instruction, missed relationships, and missed opportunities. We understand that illness and emergencies happen, but consistent attendance remains one of the strongest ways families can support student success.

Liberty Perry Schools will be closed tomorrow, Friday, August 14, due to the continued impact of the catastrophic rainfall and flooding experienced throughout our communities.

This has certainly been an incredibly strange and challenging start to the 2026–2027 school year.

We cannot wait to get our students back in our buildings and get this school year truly underway!
Until then, please continue to keep our neighbors and all those impacted by the flooding in your thoughts and prayers.
Stay safe, Liberty Perry. We look forward to seeing everyone Monday!
