Fremont Middle School

Fremont Middle School was the original building that was built for the district back in the 1950's. The school only had a few classrooms and one small gym to host all the students in. 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. So in the early 1990's, a whole new wing of classrooms was added on both floors, and they got a brand new gymnasium. In the 2007-2008 school year, Fremont Middle School finally got Air Conditioning in the entire school. Until the late 1990's, the middle school as its known now, hosted all the grades k-8 in the building until the elementary building was built. 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 did that was the 2010-2011 School Year.

The school also now has classes called related studies. Classes like that include:
  • Drama
  • Art
  • Spanish
  • Band
  • Technology


The school also has extra curricular activities/ clubs that the students can join. Including:
  • Art club

  • 3 different jazz Bands: Jazz Band I= 8th grade, Jazz Band II= 7th grade, Jazz Band III= 6th grade
  • Student Council

Fremont Elementary School

The elementary school was the second school added to the district in the late 1990's. It was built with a big gym and playground area along with a bunch of new classrooms. When that 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. So now, 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 principal is Stefan Ladenburger and the Assistant Principal is Jennifer Haack.

Fremont Intermediate School

The Fremont Intermediate School was built and added to the district in 2007 making it the newest building in the district. 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.
The principal is Ms. Rebecca Dahn and the Assistant Principal is Michael McDonnell.
