Freeman High School Class of 2020: We are in the process of organizing and sorting through old student files. After five years, we only keep the high school transcripts and shred the rest of the items in the cumulative folder. If you graduated in 2020 and would like your cumulative folder, please make arrangements with the HS office to pick it up on or before October 17, 2025. Thank you!

💙 Our Freeman Care Closet is ready for a refresh! 🧺 Donations help students with essentials in times of need so they can focus on what matters most—learning. 📚 Thank you for supporting our kids & their education! 🙌
