Liberty High School (Glen Daniel, West Virginia)

Liberty High School is a consolidated high school in rural Raleigh County, West Virginia, located in the town of Glen Daniel, West Virginia. The school, along with sister school and rival Independence High School was built in 1976, and the name is a reflection of that. The school was always intended to incorporate the previous Trap Hill, Clear Fork, and Marsh Fork high schools, but legal wrangling kept the later two from consolidation until the 1990s.

The school has 550 students, placing it in class "AA" for sports in the state. School colors are red, black and white, and the mascot is the Raider.

In sports, the school is generally referred to as "Liberty-Raleigh" or "Liberty of Raleigh" because there is another Liberty High School in northern West Virginia.

In 2012, Liberty was named a West Virginia School of Excellence.
