The Maverick Educator

In the first part of his career, Rodney Haire took the field of textile sales and management by storm. Then, at the Lord’s direction, he turned to the field of education and did the same!

After visiting some excellent schools and discovering what NOT to do, he applied his own creative and innovative ideas to the process of building Liberty Christian School, a college prep school for preschool through 12th grade. He wanted to see “just how good a private Christian school could be.” The school grew from 193 students in 1983 to 1200+ when he handed over the reins in 2017. Most members of each graduating class attend selective colleges and universities, backed with scholarships in the millions of dollars.

Under his unique style of leadership that was forged in years of tough business experience, Liberty became an award-winning school, ranking #1 in the State for 11 out of 14 years, according to TAPPS ( Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools ). When people entered the school, they usually remarked that there was something noticeably different about Liberty.
