Freeburg Community High School is a high school located in Freeburg, Illinois, United States. The Freeburg Community High School District #77 controls it.

Freeburg Community High School was founded in 1904 as a two-year school and graduated its first class of four students in 1906. In 1923, after converting to a traditional four-year high school, two students were presented with Freeburg High School diplomas. The existing school was constructed in 1929, becoming "Home of the Freeburg Midgets."[2] The original mascot was named Marty the Midget, a name that lasted through the nineteen sixties.[3]

The district encompasses approximately 122 square miles (320 km2) and has an average enrollment of 750 students.
