An expanded Peer Leadership program supports peer mediation, new student orientation, and the ninth grade transition project. The school chapters of Octagon and the Junior State of America (JSA) provide students with an opportunity to study and become involved with political issues on the local, national, and international scenes. The FFA Chapter, transferred to this school from Freehold High School in 1972, is the oldest chapter in the State of New Jersey. All of the clubs, student publications, organizations and societies that exist form part of the student activity program and combine with the excellent academic program of the school and district, to define the total curriculum at Freehold Township High School.

We once again had county, regional, state or national accomplishments by participants in FCCLA, Consumer Bowl, Forensics, FFA, Drama, Art Club, and Newspaper.
