School Reviews
5 Well, from what I've seen from the list above, sounds like there's been a lot of improvements since I last went to that school. It looks good to me.
On personal note, I was surprised when I pulled this website up. It brought back a flood of memories. I have a lot of good memories from that school. I can't believe it's been 21 years since I last attended there.
I now live in Georgia. But if I lived back in Franklin, i would definitely send my kids to that school. - Posted by Student/Alumni - debor |
