I went to Franklin Area High School from middle school and graduated from there. Although I love some of the people I gained from my experience at FHS, I didn't appreciate the environment that it provided. I did not feel accepted at FHS. The environment is not very inclusive and didn't nourish different kind of minds. What I did like about FHS was that the school provided many different classes of many different levels, and many clubs were offered. I also liked the school spirit that was encouraged.

Franklin is full of Racism, Bias, and ridiculously rude teachers. They judge girls based on body type and only dress code bigger body girls. They completely over look the major problems because they are too worried about the vaping issue. (Yes it is an issue but there is so many more worse issues) The school has teachers that pick favorites, rude for no reason to the students., and treat us like we are actually in prison. The Vo-tech students get 20 minutes to eat lunch and the lines are at least 15 minutes long. The food is non-edible and often makes students skip. When a student goes on a school trip and gets exempt from the homework, we are given zero's, even if the students are going to a state competition (skills USA).

Franklin High School is an interesting place to grow and learn in. It is a somewhat small school, but has friendly staff and gives me an environment where I feel comfortable being in. The school does a good job keeping its students educated and informed, and keeps morality up with pep rallies and spirit weeks. It was, without a shadow of a doubt, a pleasant school to be a part of. The most I can wish for when regarding change is an improvement in the school's resources, food, and diversity in both people and classes.
