The LCHS Order System is a student-organizational structure designed to manage LCHS junior-high students to achieve specific academic and student-life objectives.  The system supplants the traditional student council governing structure by creating smaller integrated communities of students (~30 students per Order, ~15 from each grade) within the school thus providing a framework for student governance allowing greater opportunity for development of meaningful leadership.
There are six different Orders, all competing for the Purple Duck.
The Liberty Common High School Orders are:

Order of Atlantis ---- The Krakens
Order of Camelot ---- The Knights & Ladies
Order of Delphi ---- The Pythons
Order of Elysium ---- The Warriors
Order of Erebor ---- The Dragons
Order of Valhalla ---- The Vikings 

Purposes:

1. To increase institutional and peer-to-peer support for each student.
2. To ensure individual care for each student by the order deans who will monitor and support the academic, social, moral and behavioral growth of each LCHS student.
3. To multiply occasions to build strong, healthy student relationships.
4. To develop leadership skills in every student.
5. To enhance recruitment of new students.

 Unique Outcomes for LCHS:

1. Enhanced school-family spirit in the 7^th and 8^th grade classes.
2. More robust opportunities for LCHS junior high students to be trained as leaders through hands-on service gaining meaningful valuable leadership experience.
3. Stronger interpersonal relationship skills for each LCHS student.
4. More focused support internalizing LCHS character development.
