To me FSH is a school that opened my senses and my output on school spirit. It has shown me what a unit that have each others back looks like. FSH is very school spirited; we have won 2 championships back to back with the support of the entire city. Our academics is outstanding since we have been an A school for 3 years straight and that is very impressive since we have been holding it down with all the hate from all the other schools within our parish. I absolutely love my school and the experiences it has taught me. I absolutely love my dear ole Franklin High.

ever since I came to Franklin its been awesome I've always been worried about how school students would bully me but it never happened they will make jokes but its great and when I told the teachers I was getting adopted they were all supportive some even wanted to throw a party for me so I can't thank them enough for being by my self

My overall experience at Franklin Senior High School has been good. I went to a smaller school before I came for my high school years and I never felt as if I wasn't welcome. I feel very comfortable being here and it is an overall good environment and helped me have many opportunities I would not have had any place else.

the school has started cracking down on all the bullying that used to take place.Hopefully they can completely eradicate bullying from, not only this school, but from every school.
