  • Freedom High Schools teachers are the best, they take the time to make sure that you know what your doing and how to do it. If you need to stay after school they'll stay after with you, no matter how long.

  • I feel that Freedom High School fulfills the needs of our two daughters - academically, in sports, and extracurricular activities. I also am very thankful for the crisis team and the resource officer.
