Principal Johnson's Message

Dear Parents,

Welcome to Benjamin Franklin High School. On behalf of our entire staff, the school district, school and community, I would like to welcome you and your children to what we hope will be another fun and enriching school year.

 

Franklin’s excellent teaching staff and support personnel want to ensure that every child succeeds. Our goal is to support and encourage each child in achieving their potential by developing the “whole” child. It is necessary for our students to receive an education that not only deals with the traditional academics of school but also we must provide them with an enriching experience that will develop them into critical thinking, civic minded individuals who fully understand their existence on earth.
