Liberty Hill ISD will say farewell to the class of 2024 on Friday. But, ahead of graduation, one of those students says the district denied her request to wear Native American regalia to the ceremony.

Liberty Hill ISD seniors will graduate on Friday, but one of those students said she may not be able to participate because she adorned her cap in Native American regalia."This is my vase project that I submitted this year," said Kaira Kellywood as she showed off her work from her ceramics class. Kellywood is graduating from Liberty Hill High School on Friday."I was able to express the way I felt through my art," said Kellywood.

The student’s family was told that their child was welcome to wear their neck ribbon inside of their robe; however, in keeping with these requirements, we could not grant the request for the student to wear a beaded mortarboard, nor wear their neck ribbon outside of their robe during the graduation ceremony."Kellywood said if she breaks the policy, she will not be able to participate in graduation, but she’ll show up in her cap and gown regardless.
