Fremont School District 79 - Fremont Middle School

Fremont Middle School

Fremont Middle School was the original building that was built for the district in 1957. The school only had 12 classrooms and one small gym to host all the students in totaling 18,200 square feet. Every year, the district kept getting more and more students moving into the district and it was getting very tight in the very few classrooms.

In the early 1990s, a whole new wing of classrooms was added on both floors, and they got a brand new gymnasium. Then in 2007 after the modeling project was completed, the school now has 41 classrooms, 2 gymnasiums, a media center, science labs, and a cafeteria totaling 99,600 square feet. In the 2007-2008 school year, Fremont Middle School finally got Air Conditioning in the entire school.

Until the late 1990s, the middle school hosted all the grades k-8 in the building until the elementary building was built. Until the elementary building was built, the middle school was called Fremont School. Once that was finished, the grades K-3 moved to the new building making the middle school hosting the grades 4-8. That was all in place until the intermediate school was built in 2007. And since it was built, the middle school hosts the grades 6-8.

In the 2007-2008 school year, the school added teams to each grade. Each student in 6th, 7th, or 8th grade would either be put on the White or Green team. Those colors represent the school's mascot colors. The students can get moved around from team to team every year. The last year the school had teams was during the 2010-2011 School Year.
