Welcome Back to Feature Friday

Khamani

Binghamton High School Liberty is excited to introduce Khamani John as the first Feature Friday Liberty student of the 2025-2026 school year!

Khamani is a 10th grader at BHS and has been involved in Liberty since 7th grade at West Middle School.  This past summer Khamani spent over a month in Guyana training and trying out with the “Football Federation.” He shared that this was an experience to help improve his soccer skills as well as compete with others from around the world.  

As a sophomore, Khamani is also a valuable member of the Binghamton Varsity Boys Soccer Team playing Midfield with highlights that have been featured in local news stories.  

We at BHS Liberty continue to cheer on #5!!

Madison

SVHS Liberty is happy to recognize Madison Turner, a junior at SV who has been in LPP for the past 2 years.  

This school year Madison has challenged herself academically and is taking multiple AP, Honors, and College level classes.  She works so hard to excel in her studies and it is paying off! It is wonderful to see her confidence building each day.  

Madison is also a key member of our Drama and Spirit Clubs.  She is compassionate, caring and always willing to pitch in when help is needed.

Last Spring, Madison attended our LPP Empire Promise Youth Summit and hasn't stopped asking to go to the next one! It was wonderful to see her take charge and show her leadership skills! Mads is one of the best parts of my day and LPP is lucky to have her!

Erica
