The richness of diversity offers many opportunities and challenges. Fremont High School’s response is to provide a variety of programs designed to meet the needs of all students.

The students and staff at Fremont High School guide the creation of a positive, nurturing learning environment. In support of the school’s mission to ensure high levels of learning for all students, graduates of Fremont High School are able to communicate clearly and persuasively through oral, written and visual work; gather, organize, analyze, synthesize and evaluate information from a variety of sources; work independently, collaboratively and honestly; self-assess, making modifications to increase achievement; connect with the school and community as active, involved citizens; and learn and apply literacy and technology skills to become more effective students. These skills and activities are integrated within the multiple academic disciplines and activities available for students on campus.
