Liberty High School Principal Harrison Bailey had no idea what awaited him inside of his school’s gym Thursday afternoon.
When he walked through the doors, the Grenadier band broke out into song, the majorettes were dancing and his wife, three kids, mother and in-laws sat in a socially-distanced group in the gym.
The Bethlehem Area School District community gathered with Bailey’s loved ones at Liberty to surprise the school’s leader with the news that he’s the Pennsylvania Principals Association secondary principal of the year. Bailey took in the news as his colleagues, a student and local dignitaries shared all that he means to the Hurricane family.

Authorities have not identified the gunman or any of the victims.
“We don’t have any motive at this point. It appears that the three shootings . were indiscriminate and unrelated,” Lehigh County District Attorney Jim Martin said.
The shooting spree began early Wednesday morning when the gunman, driving a white Toyota Corolla, shot at a woman driving a white car on Route 22 near Route 309.
The woman, who is being interviewed by police, said she heard a loud bang, but did not realize she heard a gunshot until she stopped at the Wawa to get a sandwich and saw a bullet hole in the car, Martin said.
