Liberty High School sociology students and their teacher visited Southern Lehigh on Wednesday, November 14, for an exchange with Mr. Zeisloft’s sociology class.

The students from Liberty were partnered with students from Southern Lehigh, whom they shadowed throughout the day.

“[The purpose of this exchange] was to see what different schools and cultures are like,” Prakruti Patel, a student from the Liberty sociology class, said.

During Mr. Zeisloft’s period 7 sociology class, the students and both teachers discussed the similarities and differences between Southern Lehigh and Liberty.

“Liberty is larger, and more diverse. Southern Lehigh is smaller. It’s a different way of schooling,” Matt Hodges, a Liberty student, said. “Here at Southern Lehigh, you turn a corner and you see someone you know. It’s not like that at Liberty.”

The students from Liberty had a lot of fun and learned something, too.

“The people were really friendly and I learned that our schools aren’t very far from each other but they are very different,” Liberty student Laura Lumbayi said.

Two days prior to this visit, Southern Lehigh’s sociology class visited Liberty High School.

“A major difference is that Liberty has block scheduling, and the teachers seem much more relaxed when it comes to lessons,” senior Jeff Tankred said.

Both Liberty and Southern Lehigh students had a great experience visiting another school and seeing how it compares to their own.
