2022-2023

Welcome!

My name is Dr. Polnitz, and I’m excited about being at Freedom Park School. I’ve been an educator for 17 years, and here at Freedom Park, I have taught 7th grade and 8th grade for the past 5 years. I take pride in the fact that when my students leave my classroom, they have learned how to truly be successful. Thank you for blessing me by giving me the opportunity to be your student’s teacher.
