South Fremont High School is a four-year public secondary school in St. Anthony, Idaho, United States.[1] It is one of two high schools in the Fremont Joint School District #215, the other being North Fremont High School located in nearby Ashton. The school colors are red and black and the mascot is a cougar. They are classified as a 3A school. The school excels in many programs, including athletics and music.[2]

Controversies

In 1992, the school caught the attention of the American Civil Liberties Union for displaying a nativity scene in a school hallway. The scene contained two-inch tall figures which were arranged by the school's student council. The ACLU argued that the display was a violation of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, which guarantees separation of church and state.[3]

The school also received criticism in 1998 for holding its graduation ceremonies at Ricks College, which is run by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. A school board member claimed that the ceremony would be uncomfortable for students who were not Mormons.[4] The ACLU had fought with the school district in the 1980s to move its high school graduation from a LDS church building to a public school.[3]

South Fremont competes in athletics in IHSAA Class 3A, and is a member of the Mountain Rivers Conference. Other schools in this conference include rival Sugar-Salem High School and Teton High School.
