Thank you Franklin Panthers Sports Network (FPSN) and Macon County Schools Facility Director Tracy Tallent for the March 2026 Construction Update! As FPSN has stated, lots of changes have taken place. The Stairwells and Elevator shaft for the 3-Story Classroom building have risen high into the sky. The roofs of the Gym, Auditorium, and Fine Arts Center are taking shape. The football field is being prepared for Turf installation and we have our first look inside the press box! Exciting things continue!
