Freedom High School is a public high school established in 2004. It is located in Woodbridge, Virginia in unincorporated Prince William County, Virginia, United States, and is part of Prince William County Public Schools. The school is located on 15201 Neabsco Mills Road. In May 2007, Newsweek ranked Freedom 1148th in the nation on its annual list of "Best High Schools in America." Another Freedom High School is located in adjoining Loudoun County, Virginia which shares the same mascot and colors. Freedom High School is located at 38°37′17″N 77°17′15″W (38.621389° N, -77.2875° W). Freedom High School is home to a 9/11 memorial in the shape of a sundial. The Freedom Varsity Football Team won the VHSL 6A State Championship in the 2022-23 season, ranked 100 nationally.

Freedom High School held its dedication ceremony on September 11, 2004. The school also dedicated its memorial to the Prince William County victims of the September 11 attacks. As a permanent part of the high school, there is a 62-foot-diameter (19 m) sundial dedicated to them. The names of the Prince William County victims are inscribed on the bricks around the sundial. Four brass plates are placed on the face of the sundial to mark the times when the four airliners struck the North and South Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and the field in Pennsylvania. Before each home football game, Freedom High School pays tribute to the victims of 9/11.

FHS' schedule revolves around a blocked schedule which consists of "even" and "odd" days. On "even" days classes are held for periods 2, flex, 4, & 6 and on "odd" days classes are held for periods 1, 3, 5, & 7. The date does not determine whether it is an even or an odd day.

Freedom offers many opportunities for students to participate in various sports teams and student groups to support their academics and challenge them to learn and grow outside the classroom. Such activities include:
