Some of our students have begun to see their ACT scores from the state exam taken March 12. Your student can access their score by logging into their ACT account (students set up the email and password, the school does not). Remember, the ACT is one indicator of college readiness. Taking Advanced Placement (AP) classes, earning a “C” or better and taking and passing an AP exam (3 or better) are two additional indicators of college readiness. Our students in AP classes will take the national exams May 6-17.

ACT tests and AP success reflect work from this year and previous courses your student has taken. Continue to encourage your student to make the most of every day here at FHS.

With Saber Pride,

Mr. Vuolo

Franklin High School is proud to host the Relay for Life fundraiser for the American Cancer Society on Friday, April 26th from 5:30pm-10:30pm. All money raised goes to research, prevention, detection, education, and patient support! It is not a race but a night filled with fun activities and emotion for an amazing cause. FHS has held its own (student-led and planned) Relay for Life for many years and this continues to be a very special event put on by students. We encourage you to learn more about the event by reading through these Frequently Asked Questions and to visit the FHS official Relay for Life website here, where you can pledge, donate or find out how to be actively involved in the event. All ages are welcome! We hope to see you there!
