Principal’s Message

Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year at Freedom Middle School!

It is my pleasure to welcome back all our returning Panthers and extend a very special welcome to all our new Panthers and families joining Panther Nation this year. We are excited to kick off another great year filled with opportunities for growth, learning, and success.

At Freedom Middle School, we remain committed to creating a safe, supportive, and engaging learning environment where every student feels valued, challenged, and empowered to reach their full potential. Our dedicated teachers and staff are passionate about ensuring that every Panther receives the support, encouragement, and high-quality instruction needed to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

As we begin this school year, our theme is Level Up! Every Panther, Every Day. This theme represents our commitment to continuous growth, excellence, and intentional progress in everything we do. We are challenging ourselves as a school community to raise expectations, strengthen our focus, and elevate performance at every level.

This year, we are strategically focused on building upon our momentum as we continue our journey toward achieving a school grade of an A. We are proud of the growth we have made, and we know that through strong instruction, meaningful relationships, and a collective commitment to excellence, even greater success is ahead.

We believe that strong partnerships between school and home are essential to student success. I encourage all families to stay actively engaged and connected throughout the year. Please be sure to visit our website regularly and follow our social media pages for the most up-to-date information, important announcements, celebrations, and school events.

Together, we will continue to build a culture of excellence where every Panther is empowered to learn, grow, and succeed.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership. I am honored to serve as your principal and look forward to an amazing year ahead.

Go Panthers, Go Pride!

Dr. Stephanie Jackson
Principal, Freedom Middle School
