FHS Senior Class of 2026,

You are finally in the last semester of your time at Freedom High School. Cap and Gown orders are taking place at this time. Our official cap and gown supplier in Jostens. You can order online at jostens.com. If you would like to order in person or if you have any questions for them, you can take advantage of two times they will be on campus. The first is Tuesday, January 20 during both lunch shifts inside the cafeteria. The second is a Saturday option on January 24 from 10am to 1pm in the front of the FHS main office (note this is a change from the original date of January 17). Another option is calling their local office at 407-894-3131. Plenty of order options are available to you. Let me know if you have any questions. Take a look at the calendar below for upcoming events and information.

Sincerely,

Mr. Youtz
