When students know their voices matter, incredible things happen.

At Freire Wilmington, we believe education helps young people discover their power, advocate for what they believe in, and see themselves as leaders capable of creating change.

Every day, our students contribute ideas, shape their communities, and take ownership of their experiences. In classrooms, clubs, and school-wide initiatives, they're learning that their perspectives have value and that they have the ability to make an impact.

Freire Wilmington students recently took learning beyond the classroom with a visit to Delaware’s Legislative Hall, where they had the opportunity to meet with state leaders,and learn more about the legislative process firsthand, and receive a Senate tribute from Sen. Dan Cruce for our Freire Forward professional prep program.

A highlight of the day was hearing senior Brandon C. deliver a powerful speech about the impact of Freire's Freire Forward Experienceship program. Brandon shared how these opportunities have helped him explore career pathways, build professional skills, and prepare for life after high school.

Students also engaged in meaningful conversations with Senator Cruce and Senator Elizabeth Lockman, gaining insight into public service, leadership, and the importance of civic engagement.

We are grateful to our elected officials for welcoming our students and helping inspire the next generation of leaders, advocates, and changemakers.

Freire Middle’s Breathing Fire Day brought a wave of energy, creativity, and pure joy to our community! Students spent the day immersed in hands-on projects, friendly games, and moments of connection with classmates and staff.

From cotton candy to carnival games, the day was filled with excitement as laughter echoed through the building and students stepped out of routine and into celebration.

A big thank you to everyone who helped make the day possible and to our students for bringing the energy that made it unforgettable!
