Liberty Charter High School is located in the city of Lemon Grove, in the Greater San Diego area of San Diego County, California. It is sponsored by, but not a member of, the Grossmont Union High School District.[1]

It opened to freshman students in August 2008 and added a new class each school year. It is the first start-up charter school in San Diego County and will eventually hold over 450 students.[2]

A new campus was scheduled to be constructed in Santee, California, but after the recession started, the campus construction was put on hold due to lack of financing. During the 2009-2010 school year, Liberty was on the campus of its parent school, Literacy First Charter School. Liberty consisted of freshmen and sophomore's.

The high school is part of a K-12 program that is run by the non-profit Literacy First inc. K-8 classes are located at three locations in nearby El Cajon, California. During the summer of 2010, one of the K-8 campuses was moved to El Cajon and became Liberty Academy. Its name changed from Liberty Charter School.

Liberty High is the only school under Literacy First Charter School Inc. to be a Liberty Charter school.
