This school, built in the Highlands addition, is named for Rudolph L. Fredstrom (1910-1997), a longtime Lincoln Public Schools administrator. Dr. Fredstrom had been the dean of education and teacher training at Nebraska Wesleyan University before he joined LPS in 1951 as assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction. In 1970 he became administrative assistant for student services, a post he held until his retirement in 1975.
