Welcome to Freedom High School – Freedom Area School District 

Welcome to the home of the Freedom Irish and thank you for visiting our website.  Our school takes great pride in our students, community, and in our commitment to excellence, and we value having you as one of our partners.  In order to maintain a successful high school environment, it is essential for students, educators, parents, and community members to work collaboratively to create an atmosphere where young men and women can grow academically and socially in a safe and healthy learning environment.  Education is a community endeavor and we encourage you to become involved in our school and help us in providing a world class education to the students of Freedom High School.

We are committed to providing a progressive curriculum designed to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century.  Our emphasis on rigor and relevancy in every course helps us as we support students in pursuing their academic and vocational interest to the fullest.

Freedom also offers an abundance of extracurricular and co-curricular activities.  Research supports that students who are involved in activities beyond the school day perform better academically, behaviorally, and socially.  We strongly encourage every student to participate in their school environment and make the most of their high school experience. 

If at any time you have concerns or questions about this high school or fantastic community which we are proud to be part of, please do not hesitate to contact me.
