Tuesday, May 5 is National Teacher Appreciation Day, and we will take time to celebrate the dedicated adults who make Fremd High School a better place for all students. Parents and students are encouraged to express their gratitude by writing a note of thanks to a member of the Fremd staff who has made a positive impact in their lives.

Fremd is fortunate to have nearly 350 staff members—including teachers, counselors, social workers, psychologists, administrators, coaches, sponsors, clerical staff, custodians, food service workers, technology specialists, student supervisors, therapists, teacher assistants, and our school nurse—each contributing to our supportive and thriving school environment.
