Francis Scott Key
Dr. Jesse L. Freeman, Jr. was then principal at Francis Scott Key, who died in 1994. He had been instrumental in the implementation of the science, mathematics, and technology center at Francis Scott Key and several other schools throughout the county. Upon relocating to the former LaReine High School facility, the community wanted to rename Francis Scott Key after famed African-American physician and medical researcher, Dr. Charles R. Drew. Others wanted to rename the school after f Freeman. A compromise was made and the facility was named Drew-Freeman Middle School.
