The Liberty Union High School District Board of Education recently honored Jaye Buhlis as the district’s Community Volunteer of the Quarter. Buhlis is one of Freedom High School’s longest-serving volunteers and has supported Freedom High before, during and after her children attended the school, including every Freedom Grad Nite since 1998.

As Buhlis’ sons participated in volleyball, basketball, water polo, baseball and tennis, she actively supported Freedom athletics, working the snack bars, providing transportation and supporting the frenzied “fundraiser du jour.”

Most recently, Buhlis has volunteered her time and financial support to Freedom’s Golf Tournament and annual Freshman Boot Camp. She has provided all the Boot Camp shirts since its inception, and helps with the afternoon barbecue as well.

According to one teacher, “Jaye is friendly, understanding, outgoing, flexible and kind. She has a true love of Freedom that goes beyond the parent relationship.” LUHSD and Freedom faculty, staff and administrators thank Jaye Buhlis for sharing her endless enthusiasm and compassion with Freedom High School.
