LHHS speech students learn skills from the masters
LHHS UIL students toured the State Capitol this spring and learned speaking skills from state lawmakers -- the masters at persuasive speaking. The students, who are sponsored by Speech Teacher Tammy Ballard, visited with State Rep. Dan Gattis, R-Georgetown, and State Sen. Steve Ogden, R-Bryan. Both lawmakers represent Liberty Hill in the Texas Legislature.
For several students in the group, it was their first trip to the Capitol.

Shin Oaks common in The Hill
Liberty Hill, Texas, is located on what was once known as the Shin Oak Ridge for the prominence of Shin Oak trees that grow here.
 The Vasey Shin Oak, which is prominent in the Liberty Hill area, is drought tolerant and grows individually or in clumps in semi-arid grassland on limestone or igneous soils. It has semi-evergreen, glossy lobed leaves and acorns up to 0.9 inches, and the bark is lighter in color than a Live Oak. When the tree grows individually, it generally does not grow taller than 30 feet. In Liberty Hill, it is more common to see the Shin Oak growing as a large shrub in thickets. The Shin Oak is lightly grazed by cattle, sheep, goats and white-tailed deer. In fact, the thickets provide escape and thermal cover for deer.
