As someone who grew up in Liberal, Ashley Kappelmann has spent a lot of time at Liberal High School, not only as a student (and later graduate), but also as a teacher and later administrator.
“In my time with USD 480, I've only been at Liberal High School, and I've been here 25 years. I started in 2000 as a teacher, right after I graduated from Kansas State University, and I taught English and journalism and also did some team leadership,” Kappelmann said. “I later became an instructional coach and did that for four years, then I was an assistant principal for few years, and then I just finished my eighth year as the LHS principal. I also graduated from LHS, so I've spent A LOT of time in this building.”
