\"\"<\/a><\/u><\/span><\/span>Dear Freedom Family,<\/b><\/p>\n

As I begin my fifth year as Principal of Freedom High School, I continue to feel honored and inspired to lead such a vibrant and dedicated school community. Each new school year brings fresh energy and opportunities\u2014and I\u2019m excited for all that lies ahead in 2025\u20132026.<\/span><\/p>\n

Summer offers a chance to pause and reflect, but it also reminds us how much we miss the energy of our students and staff. The empty halls are a quiet contrast to the excitement I know we\u2019ll soon experience together\u2014in classrooms, on the stage, on the field, and throughout our school.<\/span><\/p>\n

Freedom\u2019s newly-renovated auditorium is just about ready to officially open, and we couldn\u2019t be more excited to welcome our school community into the refreshed space. This long-anticipated project brings updated seating and flooring, improved lighting, and a more modern, comfortable environment for performances, assemblies, and events. The renovation reflects our commitment to the arts and to providing students with high-quality spaces to learn, perform, and celebrate their talents.<\/span><\/p>\n

This fall, we\u2019re thrilled to welcome our new staff members and 440 incoming 9th graders into our Freedom Family. Whether you\u2019re new to Freedom or returning for another year, I hope you\u2019re as excited as I am to create new memories and achieve great things together.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s make this school year one of connection, growth, and success\u2014for every student, every staff member, and our entire community.<\/span><\/p>\n

With gratitude and anticipation,
\n<\/span>Ms. Laurie Sage<\/span><\/p>\n
