The Engstrom Family 

We are thrilled to introduce ourselves as the Engstrom family! We, Eric, Alli, and our daughter Elyse, are proud members of the Liberty school community. Our family shares a deep love for baseball, and you'll often find us cheering on our favorite team, the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Alli, also known as Mrs. Engstrom to many of you, has been a dedicated teacher at Liberty since 2017. She loves being the technology teacher and getting to work with all students. She also enjoys working with students outside of the classroom with clubs such as cheerleading, news crew, and STEM Club. It’s been a privilege to be connected to such a supportive and inspiring environment.

Liberty has become an extension of our family. We are grateful for the warm community and the unforgettable events that enrich our lives every year- and we don’t even have a child that goes to school yet!

Looking ahead, we are excited for the new adventures that await us as part of the Liberty family. We are especially thrilled for the 2025-2026 school year as our niece Paisley will be joining Liberty. It is our hope that when Elyse is older, she will also join Paisley and Alli at CTA Liberty. The thought of having more family members at the school fills us with joy and anticipation.

We love all the opportunities that we get to be part of as a family here at the school. Whether it’s attending events, volunteering, or simply being present, these moments strengthen our bond and enrich our experience as part of the Liberty community.

We, the Engstrom family, are honored to be part of such an amazing school, and we look forward to many more years of growth, learning, and fun at Liberty. Thank you for welcoming us into your hearts and making us feel at home. Go Liberty, and of course, go Diamondbacks!

The DiPanfilo Family

The DiPanfilo Family: Ryan, Kathryn, Kelly, Rhys, and Kamryn. We have been members of the CTA Liberty family since 2019 and were drawn to the CTA curriculum  from recommendations from family friends who wished they would have attended in their elementary years. Upon hearing Liberty was both CTA and DLI, we were instantly sold. Over the past six school years, we have watched our children learn and grow in such amazing ways. Their development, both in and out of the classroom, is a direct reflection of the teachers, staff, and administrators at Liberty.

We (Ryan and Kathryn) met in college while attending Springfield College (Springfield, MA). Upon graduation, Ryan accepted an Athletic Training position with the Arizona Diamondbacks. The 2025 season will mark his 19th year with the organization and 8th year as the Major League Head Athletic Trainer. Kathryn has been a PE teacher and volleyball coach within CUSD. She currently coaches various age groups with Vortex Lacrosse Club.

Kelly is a fifth grader this year at Liberty. She has an intense passion for lacrosse and is a member of Vortex Elite Lacrosse Club (AZ) and Mad Dog West Elite (CA). At Liberty, she participates in band and student council. She hopes to one day play lacrosse in college, then share her love of learning by becoming an elementary teacher.

Rhys is a current third-grader. He is a member of the Diamond Kings and Owlz baseball teams and also plays basketball. He dreams of one day being a Major League Baseball player and also aspires to serve in our Armed Forces.

Kamryn is thoroughly enjoying her Kindergarten year at Liberty. She participates in lacrosse, soccer, and volleyball. She has a true love of animals and hopes to become a veterinarian.

We look forward to many more years as members of the Liberty family.
