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.

The school also has classes called related studies. There are different combinations of classes each grade can take. The related studies classes include classes in these categories:

  • Drama
  • Art
  • Spanish
  • Band
  • Technology
  • Vocal Music

The school also has extra curricular activities and clubs that the students can join, including:

  • Art club
  • Book club
  • Environmental Champions club
  • Science club
  • Technology club
  • Stock Market club
  • Chess Club
  • Wellness/ Workout club
  • Three different jazz bands: Jazz Band I= 8th grade, Jazz Band II= 7th grade, Jazz Band III= 6th grade
  • Student Council
  • National Junior Honor Society (NJHS)
  • Show Choir

The middle school also has sports teams. Both girls and boys in 7th and 8th grade can try out for volleyball and basketball, and grades 6–8 can participate in soccer, track, and cross country. The rival schools include:

Girls can also be in cheerleading or Poms.

After 8th grade, the students will attend Mundelein High School, Carmel High School, Adlai E. Stevenson High School, or Grayslake Central High School.

The elementary school was the second school added to the district in 1998. It was built with 42 classrooms, a gymnasium, cafeteria, and a media center in 96,011 square feet.

When the elementary school was built, the grades K-3 moved there from the Middle School across the street. Then when the Intermediate School was built next door, 3rd Grade moved over there. Currently, Fremont Elementary School hosts the grades Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd Grades.

The school backs up to the brand new Fremont Nature Trail where students can walk around in the forest along a path and learn about wildlife. The school is also next door to the soccer fields where the Mundelein Soccer teams plays. And a brand new frisbee golf course where students can go to play during recess and PE class.

The Intermediate School hosts the grades 3rd, 4th, and 5th. It is connected to the Elementary School next door.

It opened for its first school year for the 2007-2008 school year. The building wasn't finished completely in time. The gym was still until construction along with the cafeteria. So the students had to use the Elementary School for lunch and gym class for the first few months of the school year.
