Dear Freehold Regional High School District Families,

As we prepare to welcome students to the 2026–2027 school year, we are filled with excitement and optimism for the opportunities that lie ahead. A new school year represents a fresh beginning - a chance to build new relationships, strengthen our school community, and continue providing every student with an exceptional educational experience.

In the Freehold Regional High School District, our commitment extends beyond academic excellence. We are dedicated to fostering meaningful relationships, encouraging engagement, and supporting the growth of every student. We know that when students feel connected, supported, and engaged, they are more likely to thrive both academically and personally.

This school year, our district will place a renewed emphasis on three essential foundations for student success:

Excellent Attendance
Positive Behavior
Distraction-Free Learning

These priorities are not simply expectations—they are investments in our students' success.

These priorities are rooted in a simple but powerful belief: when students attend school consistently, engage positively with one another, and focus on learning, they experience a greater sense of belonging, deeper engagement in learning, and stronger academic achievement. To help ensure these outcomes for every student, a “bell-to-bell” cell phone ban will be enacted.

Success is a shared responsibility. We are grateful for the continued partnership of our families, staff, students, and community members. As we begin the 2026–2027 school year, we look forward to celebrating achievements, embracing new opportunities, and working together to ensure every student has the opportunity to succeed.

Please review several campus facility improvements. These upgrades demonstrate our commitment to providing students with a safe, welcoming, and engaging place to learn.

Thank you for your continued trust, partnership, and commitment to the Freehold Regional High School District. We wish everyone a successful and rewarding school year.

Sincerely,

Nicole Hazel, Ed.D.

Superintendent of Schools
