Liberty High School is a four-year public high school located in Jersey City, New Jersey, operated as part of the Jersey City Public Schools. The school was established in September 1999 as a partnership between the Jersey City Board of Education and Hudson County Community College.

The school is intended to offer a small learning community in contrast to the large comprehensive high schools in the district, offering a family-like atmosphere where students feel involved, supported and challenged.
