FHS classrooms have shifted to a digital hall pass system called Orange Pass. All students sign out digitally to leave class for any reason. This system is replacing our paper sign out system and helps to monitor the location of our students and the "traffic" during class periods in the hallways. We have added Faculty Hall Monitors this year as well to help maintain the safety of the halls and school building. If you have any questions about the online pass system or logistics of the building, please reach out to Principal Jen Gulko (gulkoj@rsu5.org) or Asst. Principal Charlie Mellon (mellonc@rsu5.org).

In the coming weeks, you'll see where all your peers have been accepted to in a display of college pennants on the bulletin board outside of the guidance office. Share with us all of the colleges you've been accepted to using this form and we'll hang up a pennant for each one!
You can make schedule changes using the paper add/drop form during our regular Add/Drop period between January 26-29.
Important Information to Know:
Please use the Master Schedule to look at your different course options.
You must keep a minimum course load of 6 credits.
Keep an eye on your email after submitting your form in the event there is a reason your schedule change request can not be met.

Are you interested in applying to or possibly attending the University of Maine? Come meet Admissions Counselor, Nik Ray, on Tuesday March 10 for a Junior Transcript Review! During this brief 10 minute meeting, Nik Ray will review your transcript and provide an indication as to whether you are admissible to UMaine at this time, give merit scholarship eligibility info, and provide feedback for classes to take in your senior year.
Don't wait–many of our former falcons are at UMaine today because of this opportunity! Sign up to be considered for UMaine's Transcript Review by March 3rd.
Browse our 'Local' and 'Other' curated lists of scholarships. Deadlines are quickly approaching and we suggest applying as early as possible! Students need to request an official transcript from the Guidance office and obtain letters of recommendation for most applications. Don't delay!
For 10th & 11th grade students: Do you love the outdoors? Do you crave new adventures? Like meeting new people and working as a team? Step off the beaten path and into the wild as you traverse remote peaks, paddle scenic rivers, and build leadership, navigation, and wilderness skills. This summer Outward Bound is offering one Freeport student the opportunity to participate for FREE in their 2026 Leadership Backpack & Canoe Expedition from June 19-July 3. This participant will be selected for this free trip based on leadership qualities & potential. There are many ways that all of you are leaders in our school, from those who hold traditional leadership roles to those of you who are quiet leaders, leading by example. We are hoping to get a wide range of students from different grades and leadership roles/potential to apply. Outward Bound Application 2026
