Liberty Middle School S2S recognized as Pete Taylor Partnership of Excellence Award for a Second Time

In July 2004, the Military Child Education Coalition Board of Directors established the Pete Taylor Partnership of Excellence Award in honor of Lieutenant General (Ret) "Pete" Taylor who played an important role in the establishment of partnerships between military installations and school districts serving military-connected children. At this year’s MCEC National Seminar in Washington, DC, there was only one partnership that received the Outstanding Individual Project/Initiative Partnership Award K-12 and that partnership was between Liberty Middle School, Meadows Elementary School, and the 2nd Battalion 82nd Field Artillery Regiment in Fort Hood Texas. This is the second Pete Taylor Partnership award that Liberty’s JS2S group has received.
