Freedom High School is a high school in Orlando, Florida. Classes began in 2003. The school is one of seventeen public high schools in Orange County. The school is sometimes mistaken for Olympia High School and Timber Creek High School because of the nearly-identical campus layouts, and Lake Brantley High School in neighboring Seminole County because of the similar colors and mascot. The school was opened in 2003, in order to relieve crowding at nearby Cypress Creek High School. As of the 2005-2006 School Year, there were roughly 3,042 students enrolled. The current principal is Dr. Harold Border.
Like other relief high schools, they share a rivalry with the school they were relieving from overcrowding, a rivalry dubbed (in sports) as the South Orange Classic. Their teams are called the "Patriots".
In 2005, a chemistry teacher was arrested for showing students how to make explosives.[1]
