Faculty and staff look forward to seeing you in the upcoming school year, sharing our long-held traditions and creating new traditions to continue over our next 100 years.

  • Anchored in Tradition

    In 1910, Franklin High School opened its doors to the students of Williamson County with two teachers and twenty students. Over 100 years later, Franklin has grown to almost 1,800 students and over 100 faculty and staff. We celebrate our past as the Pioneers and the Rebels as we begin a new era as the Admirals. We take great pride in the tradition of excellence that began in 1910 and continues today in our Academic, Arts and Athletic programs.
