Senior Class of 2026 Dates and Events
 

May 29 | CLASS OF 2026 COMMENCEMENT
             7:30pm at Addition Financial (UCF) Arena

Please note, during the 2025 Legislative Session, House Bill 1105 eliminated the certificate of completion from Florida Statute 1003.4282, and the State Board of Education updated Rule 6A-1.09963 to match the new law. As a result, students must pass both the Grade 10 FAST ELA Reading Assessment and the B.E.S.T. Algebra 1 EOC or earn an approved concordant score to receive a diploma and participate in the graduation ceremony. This is a district-wide OCPS policy that applies to all high schools, not just Freedom High School. Families are encouraged to ensure all requirements are met before graduation; if you are unsure of your student’s status, please contact their school counselor.
