Freeport Area School District (FASD) is home of the Yellow Jackets and Buffalo Elementary, South Buffalo, Junior High School, and Senior High School. Buffalo Elementary School and the Senior High, along with the Administration building, are in Sarver, Butler County, and the Freeport Junior High School and South Buffalo Elementary are located in Freeport. There is also another Elementary School formally called Freeport Elementary School, now it holds all of the Kindergarteners and is called the Kindergarten Center. In 1969, the political divisions of Freeport, Buffalo and South Buffalo merged to form the Freeport Area School District. FASD lies along the banks of the Allegheny River and is on the mouth of Buffalo Creek. It is located about 30 miles north of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. South Buffalo Elementary was recently remodeled following the remolding of Buffalo Elementary. They look similar but South Buffalo is smaller, while Buffalo is larger.

History

The Junior High was built in 1923 and is still in use today. In the 60's the Cafe was added to the School. Before then the students would travel out in Freeport, Pennsylvania and eat at several restaurants.

The Junior High school used to be the high school. In 1960, a new high school was built in Sarver. Some high school events, such as football games, were still at the junior high. As of 2008, scoreboards were installed at the senior high fields, and the high school sports have been moved to the senior high. The varsity football team, however, still plays at the junior high. Even though the Junior High is a dump and should be tore down!!!

Athletics

All Freeport teams are called "The Yellow Jackets" and are part of the WPIAL (PIAA District 7), as well as a hockey team in the PIHL. In 2007, the hockey team won the Penguins Cup.

Lenape Vo-Tech

In 1965, Lenape Vo-Tech was opened. It serves Freeport, Armstrong, Apollo-Ridge, and Leechburg. Students are given the choice to go to Lenape Vo-Tech or stay at their school in their junior and senior years.
