Freeman High School, which opened at 7800 Katy Hockley Rd. in Katy on August 14, is the tenth high school in Katy ISD and will serve the burgeoning population of the northwest quadrant of the district, relieving enrollment pressures on Paetow High School and Katy High School. The school is named for the Freeman family, deeply ingrained in Katy's history, who have been prominent in civic leadership, with members serving as mayor, city council members, and contributing to the volunteer fire department and school board. Beyond civic engagement, the Freeman's have a longstanding connection to agriculture and education, dating back to the late 19th century. The school’s mascot will be the Golden Eagles. Freeman’s principal is Gina Cobb.
