Hayes Freedom High School is located in Camas, WA and is one of 2 high schools in Camas School District. It is a school that serves students in grades 9-12.

Alternative schools are public schools that offer nontraditional education for students whose needs cannot be met in a regular, special education, or vocational school. While alternative schools are distinct from regular, special education, and vocational schools in their teaching approach or classroom environment, they can provide similar services and/or curriculum for students. Alternative schools include schools for potential dropouts, residential treatment centers for substance abuse, schools for chronic truants, and schools for students with behavioral problems.

We're growing, building and moving!The 2009-2010 school year marks the second-to last move for the Hayes Freedom students and staff. While our brand-new school is under construction, we will be housed at the school formerly known as JDZ Elementary. Click here for a map of our interim location. We'll be relocating in July and re-opening our offices on August 17.

Our new school will be ready for staff and students in the fall of 2010. Click here for an architectural rendering.

WelcomeIn the interest of meeting the needs of all students in the Camas School District, the Camas School Board has approved the recognition of Hayes Freedom High School as a stand-alone high school designed to provide personalized instruction and individual attention for high school students who prefer to direct their own educations to a greater degree than is possible in a traditional high school model. Hayes Freedom is named after Denis Hayes, a Camas H.S. graduate who is credited with developing Earth Day, and Freedom for our cherished belief in the importance of this attribute in education.

We are a non-traditional school where students and staff can learn, grow, and experience life and education in a way that works for each individual. Projects and courses are designed by staff to align closely to district, state and national learning standards, but these allow, and in fact require, students to take control of their own educational plans. It is a place where students can find their own voices. Students learn quickly that they have both the right to their opinions but also the responsibility to listen to and respect the views of others.

Students at Hayes Freedom must be self-motivated, responsible, and willing to commit to both long and short term community based service learning projects. A premium is placed on student integration of learning across disciplines. Hayes Freedom students are required to analyze problems from multiple viewpoints and articulate comprehensive responses.

About the Board

The Evergreen Public Schools Board of Directors is a key part of the 'public' in public education. District voters elect the five board members to represent the public's views on how education should be governed at the local level.

Email the board at www.boarddir@egreen.wednet.edu


Each board member serves a four-year term, and together, they are responsible for establishing the district's goals and policies and are the governing body on adoption of school budgets and all fiscal matters. It's the job of the superintendent, who represents the board, and the district staff to carry out the board's wishes.

The board welcomes and encourages public participation during its meetings. Members believe that good schools and the community nourish each other and that active citizen interest guarantees the excellence of public schools.
