Freedom HIgh School's Annual Decision Day took place on Wednesday, May 1st, and we honored 150 of our 2024 graduates who registered for this wonderful event.

This event is coordinated by our school counseling department and each year is simply a amazing event for our graduates. As shared by the counseling department “we believe that all POST-SECONDARY PLANS (i.e., military, employment, internship/apprenticeships, trade programs) are equally important and have always been celebrated.”

Thanks to the generosity at Eagle Nation, EVERY senior in attendance left the event with a gift that will inevitably support their next chapter.

🥳 On Friday, May 3rd, we celebrated over 500 students with 0-2 absences in the third quarter! JOB WELL DONE!! These students were recognized and treated to a moment where they were able to participate in yard games (corn hole bean bag toss, giant connect four, etc..), some played on approved Play Station 5 sports challenges. All enjoyed a moment of well deserved fun!
