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. The referendum allocated $690,000 (equivalent to $ million in ) to be used to purchase Freehold High School by the regional district from the Freehold Borough Board of Education.

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: The computer science math courses include
