Freehold High School

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Freehold Borough High School is a four-year Public high school located within Freehold Borough, New Jersey, and is part of the Freehold Regional High School District. The school serves 1,194 students from Freehold Borough and from portions of Freehold Township. Freehold Borough High School is the home of the Medical Sciences Learning Center, the Computer Science Academy and the Culinary Arts/Hospitality Management Academy.

The Medical Sciences Learning Center is a program in which exceptional students in the sciences and mathematics are able to advance their studies in those fields. Freehold also houses the Computer Science Academy. This specialized academy teaches students about computers, with most of its focus on programming in languages such as Java, Visual Basic, and C++. The program also features study in topics such as data structures and discrete mathamatics. This branch of mathimatics includes several topics, including graph theory and boolean algebra.

The Computer Science Academy has also won a number of computer competitions, participating in events including the ACSL All-Star round for several years. In 2005, the Freehold Borough High School five-person team came in fourth in the Senior Division of the American Computer Science League 2005-06 International All-Star Competition.[1]

The Culinary Arts/Hospitality Management Academy is a unique program that allows students to work in the student-run, one hundred-seat, fine dining restaurant serving the public, catered events, and school functions. In 2005, the program was selected to present sample menu/recipes at Princeton University’s Garden State Series.[2]

Freehold Borough High School was the 95th-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 316 schools statewide, in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2006 cover story on the state's Top Public High Schools[3].

Coach Moses, the girls soccer team coach, tied his last game for the state champions, becoming a rarity, co-state champions in the 2006 season, tying Ramapo High School 0-0 in the Group III championship game held on November 28, 2006, at the College of New Jersey.[4][5]

The school has major rivalries with Freehold Township High School and Colts Neck High School.

Freehold High School was originally located on the corner of Husdon and Bennett Street in Freehold Borough. At the time it was called the Hudson Street School. It has been at its present location, Robertsville Road and Broadway since 1925. The school is the oldest in the Freehold Regional High School District, having been the original facility that drew students from several Western Monmouth County communities.

Freehold Borough High School, as such, came into being as a result of a referendum vote on October 6, 1953, in which seven districts united to form the Freehold Regional High School District. Freehold Borough High School was purchased by the Regional District from the Freehold Borough Board of Education.

On January 10, 2007, three Freehold High School students were killed in a tragic car accident. Their names are James Warnock, Michael Dragonetti, and Andrew Lundy.[6]

It is important to remember that this is not the only tragedy that has affected Freehold High School and its students. James, Michael, and Andrew will always be in Freehold High School's heart as well as other students and teachers who have been tragically taken away from us.
