Academic Learning Centers and Academies
The Medical Sciences Learning Center is a magnet program in which exceptional students in the sciences and mathematics are able to advance their studies in those fields. Some required classes in this program include Biochemistry/Organic Chemistry, Anatomy and Physiology, and Statistics. A unique required class, Research, involves the creation and experimentation of year long individual research projects culminating in presentations of each students findings. In previous years, students' research projects have been selected for statewide presentations and competitions as well as the Intel Science Talent Search.
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 mathematics.
The Culinary Arts / Hospitality Management Academy 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.[13]
Medical Sciences Learning Center
The Medical Sciences Learning Center (or Med Sci), a specialized academic program within Freehold High School, is a specific course load designed for students interested in continued study of the Medical Sciences. Admittance to the program is highly selective and requires a high enough score on a Mathematics/English Standardized Test and compelling short essays regarding motivation for application.
The program course load comprises the following:[14]
Freshman Year
- AP Biology, Honors Research I/Intro to Computers, Honors Geometry/Algebra II
Sophomore Year
- AP Chemistry, AP Statistics, Precalculus (H)
Junior Year
- Honors Full Year Research Project II/Intro to computers II, AP Calculus BC, AP Physics 1, plus 1-2 AP classes
Senior Year
- Anatomy/Physiology (H), Biochemistry/Organic Chemistry (H), Multi-variable Calculus (H)
In the senior year of the program, a monthly externship with the local hospital, CentraState Healthcare System, is required of all the medical sciences students.[15] Students are separated into small groups in which they are sent to different divisions of the hospital to learn hands-on about the different health care occupations. Several areas students have been sent to include the Morgue, Orthopedics, Cardiology, Radiology, etc.
In Junior year, every student must develop his/her own research project over the course of the year. These projects culminate in an individual presentation at the end of the year at the annual Medical Sciences Research Symposium. The best work is then selected and submitted to statewide competitions. In previous years, individuals have also competed in the Intel Science Talent Search for semifinalist placement.
Computer Science Academy
The Computer Science and Technology Academy (also CSA or Comp Sci) is a four-year program meant to immerse students in the field of computer science early, allowing them to be highly prepared when they enter an undergraduate program. As an academy as opposed to a learning center, students still take those classes that they are most prepared for outside of the academy. Many of the classes the students take are honors or advanced placement.
The academy's classes are designed to give students a little taste of everything with the following three goals:
- To give students a solid and rigorous background in computer science principles, including the requisite mathematical foundations.
- To build proficiency in the problem solving techniques of Computer Science.
- To provide graduates of the Academy with the background and the skills necessary to continue their education in college.
The four computer science and four math classes are as follows:
Freshman Year
- Honors Computer Science I: Java
- Honors CS Math I: Honors Geometry and Discrete mathematics
Sophomore Year
- Honors Computer Science II: Visual Basic and Java (applets)
- Honors CS Math II: Honors Algebra 2
Junior Year
- Honors Computer Science III: Java in preparation for the AP Computer Science A exam
- (Honors) Pre-Calculus
Senior Year
- Honors Computer Science IV: C++ and SQL using Microsoft Access
- A Senior Project is also completely in which 1 to 2 students work on a project of their choosing in any field of computer science. Past projects have included instant messaging programs, 64-bit games, and AI programs.
- Either AP Calculus (AB or BC) or AP Statistics
The computer science math courses include discrete math topics such as graph theory and Boolean algebra.
The Comp Sci 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 High School five-person team came in fourth in the Senior Division of the American Computer Science League 2005-06 International All-Star Competition.[16] The academy has also won the New Jersey Institute of Technology high school programming contest, in 2006 (7 of 8 programs complete) and 2008 (8 of 8 programs complete). This was the first time in the competition's history that a team has won twice, and only the second time all 8 programs have been completed. Two teams later won first place in the NJIT high school programming contest in 2011 with 7 out of 8 programs completed and fourth place in 2011's ACSL All-Stars contest for the five-person Senior Division. The 2012 Senior 5 Team won first place in the international ACSL All-Stars contest. In March 2016, teams from the academy won 1st and 3rd places at Monmouth University's High School Programming Contest, marking the second time in two years that a team from the Computer Science Academy has won this competition.[17] In April 2017, teams from the academy won 1st and 4th places at Rowan University's High School Programming Contest, marking the third consecutive year Computer Science Academy students have won this contest, and fifth straight year with teams finishing in the top 3.[18][19] In February 2018, a team from the Computer Science Academy won 1st place at the Monmouth University High School Programming Contest.[20][21]
Graduates from the Computer Science Academy have gone on to work at Microsoft, Apple, eBay, Goldman Sachs, Google, Facebook, Riot Games, SpaceX, and Amazon.
Culinary Arts Academy
The Culinary Arts Academy is a four-year program of study that consists of a wide range of courses, training, experiences, and activities in culinary, hospitality management, and food science. Traditionally, all of the academy's graduates continue their education completing an associate, bachelor, or master level degree in the culinary field. The traditional course work is enhanced by relevant action research projects with the opportunity for "hands on" professional skill development through all operational phases of a fully licensed restaurant, the Five Star Café, a 100-seat restaurant located within Freehold High School. College degree or placement credit, in the culinary content area, may be earned through high school course work tied to an articulation agreement with the Culinary Institute of America. Students are prepared and have the opportunity to take safety and sanitation certification tests that are nationally recognized by the National Restaurant Association's ServSafe. Career portfolios are developed and serve as a means for career placement opportunities and college articulation credits. Career exploration and leadership activities include community service learning projects and professional skill competitions. Students maintain active membership in the nationally recognized [(Skills USA Club and National Technical Honor Society)].[22]
Graduating students annually receive over $250,000 in scholarships and articulation awards. Many graduates of the academy attend the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY and Johnson and Wales University in Providence, RI and Miami, FL. Facilities of the Academy feature the 100-seat dining room, state-of-the-art commercial kitchen, bakery, and lecture room. On March 14, 2007 the Culinary Arts Academy hosted Governor of New Jersey Jon Corzine and members of the New Jersey State Legislature.

History
Freehold High School was originally located on the corner of Hudson 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 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 High School was purchased by the Regional District from the Freehold Borough Board of Education.
Freehold High School is by far the most ethnically diverse school in the district. The school has had to face significant enrollment raises during the last decade, going from 941 in 2000–2001 to 1,581 during 2012–2013 school year, a 68% increase.[24] (Statistics as of 2012–2013 school year[1])
On January 10, 2007, three Freehold High School students were killed in a car accident on Kozloski Road. James Warnock and Michael Dragonetti, both seniors, and Andrew Lundy, a junior, were driving home from school when they hit a van going in the opposite direction. Freehold Boro students held a memorial service for their classmates and gathered at the scene of the accident for days afterwards. The driver of the van, Ruth MacArthur, was killed on impact; the van's only passenger survived.[25]
