Dear Freedom Family,<\/b><\/p>\n

As I begin my sixth year as Principal of Freedom High School, I am grateful for the opportunity to continue serving such an exceptional school community. Each new school year brings renewed energy, fresh opportunities, and endless possibilities, and I look forward to all that the 2026\u20132027 school year has in store.<\/span><\/p>\n

While summer provides time to recharge and reflect, it also reminds us how much we miss the energy and enthusiasm our students and staff bring to our hallways and classrooms each day. The quiet spaces will soon be filled once again with learning, collaboration, performances, competitions, and the many moments that make Freedom High School such a special place.<\/span><\/p>\n

One exciting addition you’ll notice this year is our new field house, currently under construction adjacent to our turf field. This new facility will provide expanded space for many of our athletic programs while also offering members of the media an elevated location to film games and capture photographs of our student-athletes.<\/span><\/p>\n

This fall, we are excited to welcome our newest members of the Freedom Family, including our incoming staff and approximately 400 ninth-grade students. Whether you are joining us for the first time or returning for another great year, I hope you are as excited as I am for the opportunities ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n

Together, let’s make the 2026\u20132027 school year one of meaningful connections, personal growth, academic achievement, and lasting memories. I look forward to celebrating the successes of our students, staff, and school community throughout the year.<\/span><\/p>\n

With gratitude and anticipation,<\/span><\/p>\n

Ms. Laurie Sage
\n<\/span>Principal<\/span><\/p>\n
