your monthly roundup of all things new and noteworthy in liberty hill, texas - the small town with the biggest heart

Ah, September. What a welcome arrival for us all. Although it may still feel as if the heat has no intention of moving out once its lease is up, it's that time of year when those subtle changes in scenery and, if we're lucky, some falling temperatures give us that glimmer of hope that Fall is coming. And I think I speak for us all when I say we couldn't be more ready to welcome it with open arms (SERENITY NOW!). 

Regardless of whether or not the heat decides to play nicely, September ushers in so much. The kids are settling into the new school year, the Friday Night Lights beckon, and the excitement of the…

From the hill country to the big apple

History was made earlier this month when Legacy Ranch High School, Liberty Hill's newest campus slated to open this fall, earned the opportunity of a lifetime when their Cheer Team was invited to participate in the 100th annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City. This unprecedented achievement, especially considering that Legacy Ranch's cheer program is only in its second season, is yet another shining achievement added to Legacy Ranch's already-long list of similar accolades. Another notable fact is that the squad is a 100% freshmen-led team - an impressive feat itself. 

With an impressive showing at last year's UIL State competition, keeping on pace with the state's Top 20 schools in their…
