My four year experience with FHS was great! The teachers and administration are very involved and go above and beyond to ensure that students receive the best education possible. There is something for everyone at FHS. There is a variety of classes/programs offered at Franklin. There are also numerous clubs and other ways to be involved. I play softball and basketball. Franklin High School is involved in the community. There are numerous opportunities for community service. I will always treasure my days at FHS. I know that my experience at Franklin will help me in the next step I take...college!
There are very few improvements that need to be made, in my opinion, at Franklin High School. The first one that comes to mind is improvements in the athletic facilities. It is one of the oldest schools in Williamson County (in Tennessee) and mostly just needs updates.

Moving to Franklin High School my Sophomore year was one of the best decisions I have made. I have met some of my very best friends at Franklin High and have grown dramatically as a person being a student there. Franklin challenges you academically and my teachers pushed me to do the best and be the best I could be! They are also accepting of you no matter what race, gender, or background you come from. I am thankful I can say I was a student of Franklin High School's 2016 graduating class.
The teachers and administrators communicate effectively with the parents and students at Franklin High School. Not only was the classroom centered on the curriculum for the class itself, but class time was also spent preparing students for standardized testing, college applications and admissions, and communication skills. There is an wide variety of extracurriculars to choose from. I fell in love with the Model United Nations and Youth in Government Programs in partner with the YMCA Center for Civic Engagement. Additionally, there have always been tutors on hand to help students whenever they need it. I participated in student-led tutoring this year through Mu Alpha Theta Mathematics Honors Society, an experience that taught me how to collaborate with others. Overall, the schools has effectively prepared me for next year and gone above and beyond what a typical high school is capable of. I am very fortunate to go to Franklin High School.
