I have worked for Franklin Towne going on 4 years now and what I enjoy the most about this school is the school community. I truly feel supported by administration, colleagues, parents, and students alike. Students really care about this school and our culture, they want to participate in school events, and build relationships with their teachers and peers. FTCHS provides a safe environment for students to obtain an education catered to them. We offer so many electives that are interesting, intriguing, and build real-world skills for students to use after high school. For example, we offer things such as Mythology, Business, Engineering, Food Science, Culinary, Cosmetology, Anatomy, and so much more. There are even ways to learn new languages, take AP courses, dual-enrollment options, and go to Italy! Every student deserves a chance to succeed- Franklin Towne is a place that will always put your child's success first.
