Today marked a major milestone at Franklin High School as the final beam was set in place during the Topping Out Ceremony hosted by Carroll Daniel.
This tradition symbolizes more than the completion of a structural phase — it represents the hard work, dedication, and partnership of everyone helping bring this project to life for our students, staff, and community.
We are grateful to the Carroll Daniel team, the construction crews, architects, engineers, Board of Education, Board of County Commissioners, district & county leaders, and community supporters who continue moving this project forward safely and successfully.
Watching the final beam rise today was an exciting reminder that the vision for the future of FHS is becoming a reality!

🎓🔥 We loved celebrating and honoring FHS Class of 2026 at our Senior Cookout! 🔥🎓
Students enjoyed great food, laughter, and time together making memories before graduation.
A special thank you to our incredible School Nutrition Department for sponsoring the event and helping make the day so special for our seniors. Your support and dedication to our students are greatly appreciated! Thank you also to Chick-Fil-A, Coca-Cola, and Nino's Construction! Without sponsors like each of you, events such as this would not be possible.
We are proud of our seniors and excited to see all they accomplish in the future. Congratulations, Class of 2026!
