Liberty Park Middle School

Learning Without Limits

Administration

LPMS Administration

My name is Dori Hardee and I am so blessed to have the opportunity to be your principal. 

I grew up and began my teaching career in Maryland then moved to Las Cruces, New Mexico followed by North Dakota and we have finally settled in Alabama! I have served in various roles on our adventures, and I have learned that if teaching is truly in your heart you are willing to teach just about anything! My husband Ashley is a teacher and volleyball coach at VHHS where we live in walking distance to the HS which has proved to be quite useful on a Friday night! Our two children, Noah and Dylan keep us busy with lacrosse and we enjoy traveling, camping and spending time on our boat at the lake.  

I am privileged to work alongside such an amazing staff.  I have been a part of various teams my entire life both as an athlete and a coach and there isn’t a team stronger or more productive than our LP team.  My hope is that I will be able to help our students to live, love and learn through their middle school years.  As I usually sign off… I hope each and every student “Go forth and conquer something awesome!”

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at hardeed@vhcs.us.

I am Courtney Bass, and I am delighted to join the Liberty Park Middle School family as your assistant principal. My journey in education began in 2014 within the Auburn City Schools District, where I had the privilege of teaching elementary and middle school students. I earned my B.S. in Elementary Education in 2014 and later pursued my M.Ed. in Administration of Elementary and Secondary Education at Auburn University. As an assistant principal for the past four years, I have had the privilege of serving at both the intermediate and high school levels, gaining valuable insights and experiences that I am excited to bring to Liberty Park.

My commitment is to empower each student to excel academically and personally, providing a nurturing environment where every student can thrive. I look forward to working closely with the school community to ensure a successful and enriching academic year for all students.
