# South Fremont High School

South Fremont High School is a four-year public secondary school in St. Anthony, Idaho, United States. It is one of two high schools in the Fremont School District #215. 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.

## 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.

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. 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.
