Designed in the mid-1960s and finished in 1973, Freedom High School has an open classroom floor plan (no walls between classes). There are now 'half walls' separating classes so that one class can no longer see into another, though students are still able to hear other classes.

Freedom is a member of the Northwestern 3A/4A conference for all sports. The school mascot is the Patriot and the colors are Red, White and Blue. Freedom offers football, soccer, cross country, basketball, swimming, wrestling, lacrosse, baseball, tennis, track and field and golf for males and volleyball, golf, cross country, basketball, swimming, softball, soccer and tennis for females.
