Freedom High School is located in Oakley, California. The school opened in 1996 on the grounds of Liberty High School, before moving to the new campus, as a part of the Liberty Union High School District.

[edit] Controversy

Controversy surrounded the formation of a Caucasian Club in November 2006 at the school. Freshman Lisa McClelland gathered about 250 signatures from students and adults to start a club that would focus attention on European heritage and history. Other societies already found in the school include the Black Student Union, the Latinos Unidos and the ALOHA club for Asian-American students. Lou Calabro, president of the European-American Issues Forum has become an informal advisor of the club and sent letters to two civil-rights organizations that the school's administration be investigated. However, the Caucasian Club has been accused of fuelling racial tension[1]
