Eagle News is retuning for the 2024-2025 School Year!

Welcome to those new to our Freedom family and welcome back to our already amazing eagles. The Eagle News will be sent once a month this year. We hope to provide some useful information and give our families some insight to the wonderful things that occur at our Freedom home.

Always remember that YOU, our students, families, teachers, staff and community help make Freedom High School a wonderful place for learning and growth. As Mrs. Smith often shares "Freedom is a place where Eagles Soar". Make 2024 - 2025 an amazing school year!
