September 11, 2020 Dear Eighth Grade Families: The Freehold Regional High School District offers several Magnet Programs to rising 9th graders. In lieu of the 8th grade presentations typically made at the middle schools in September/October, a series of videos are available on the FRHSD main Magnet Program site and International Baccalaureate site.
