This Friday we are honored to welcome back Coach Jim Anderson as our Honorary Captain for the final home game in the very stadium he built.
Coach Anderson is the longest tenured football coach in Walton County history. For 16 seasons, he led the Bulldogs with unmatched dedication, shaping generations of players through his work ethic, integrity, and pride. His influence continues to live on in the foundation of our program and the spirit of both the Freeport community and Bulldog football.
Join us Friday night as we celebrate Coach Anderson and the lasting legacy he created at Freeport High School.
Life is great because you are a Dog, Coach.🧡💙

In Loving Memory of Mr. Miller....
It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our beloved Band Director, Mr. Miller, who dedicated over 20 years to Freeport High School and most importantly, Freeport High School students.
Mr. Miller was more than a teacher—he was a mentor, leader, and friend whose passion for music inspired generations of students. An extremely gifted musician, he conducted the band and wrote his own shows and sets, pouring his talent and heart into every note and performance. He built the band, grew the band, and led the band to unwavering, sustained success at competitions and in everything the band was involved in.
Sometimes you don’t realize what you have until it’s gone. His passing leaves a huge hole in the heart of our school, one that cannot be filled. As the band continues forward, we encourage our community to support them as they honor his legacy through every performance.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and the countless Bulldogs whose lives he touched. His music and legacy will forever echo in the halls of Freeport High School.
Mr. Miller,
Life is Great Because You’re a Dog.

After collaborating with local and state weather experts, the Walton County School District has made the decision to close schools on both Tuesday and Wednesday, January 21 and 22 due to a Winter Storm. The closure includes students and employees as well as SPICE and extra curricular activities. Walton may begin to see precipitation to include ice on Tuesday afternoon which will make it unsafe for school buses to be on roads and bridges. Wednesday may continue to see freezing temperatures which may keep ice on the roadways. We will continue to monitor the weather, as safety is always our number one priority. At this time, we expect to be back at school on Thursday, January 23. Stay safe, and continue to stay engaged with your schools and our online platforms for more information.
