PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Dedicated to providing all students with a well-rounded education, Ida Freeman Elementary, part of Edmond Public Schools (EPS), encourages creativity and incorporates STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) into the daily curriculum. To further this mission, a 2015 bond issue approved a library/media center addition to the school. The space also serves as a storm shelter, protecting up to 650 people.
