This week, FHS would like to highlight one of our awesome teachers, Mr. George Drown! Mr. Drown has taught at FHS for four years. The most rewarding part of his teaching position is helping students. Watching the growth students make from day one to the end of the school year is a lot of fun for him. Mr. Drown loves the community in Freeland because the staff, parents and students are very kind and supportive of each other. He enjoys the opportunity to coach and teach in the same district and finds it a blessing to have his students as athletes because he can reach so many students and be a positive role model for them.
