What people are saying

by a teacher
Saturday, October 4, 2014

A staff who cooperates and puts students first. A principal who supports staff, has great skills and years of teaching experience. Front office staff who are talented, consistent and communicate very effectively. Custodial staff who keep the building clean and pleasant. A PTO who funds those extra projects and needs of teachers. A significant number of parents who volunteer and support the classroom teacher. For twenty years, as a parent and staff member, Franklin has been a great school to be a part of. Close Quote
