Liberty High School Alumni Scheibe and Gerry Named 2024 Wall of Fame Honorees

The Liberty Central School District Wall of Fame Committee has named Kurt F. Scheibe and Maurice Gerry as the 2024 honorees. Scheibe, a 1962 Liberty High School graduate, is a retired postman known for his community service. He has coached Little League, developed a community park, and volunteered as a youth games referee. He also holds positions at the White Sulphur Springs Fire Department and the Liberty Elks Lodge.

Maurice Gerry, from the Class of 1949, is recognized for his dedication to his hometown. After a stint in the Navy and working in San Francisco, Gerry returned to Liberty to care for his parents. He has been involved in local politics, arts, and preservation, serving as a town councilman for 20 years.

Gerry has also contributed to other areas. He initiated the Ms. Sullivan County Beauty Pageant, promoting diversity and inclusion. He has raised awareness about the AIDS epidemic and continues to support humanitarian efforts at 93.

The Wall of Fame, established in 2011, honors outstanding alumni. Nominees are evaluated based on their achievements and contributions in their career, community, or personal life. Scheibe and Gerry will be inducted in a ceremony in June.

Preparations for the invitation-only event are in progress. Information about past inductees is available on the district’s Wall of Fame webpage. The recognition of Scheibe and Gerry underscores the significant impact of Liberty alumni.
