From the Principal:
Mustang Families,
This coming week we get to celebrate the Franklin Pierce High School graduates with our annual FPHS Grad Parade. At Midland, we talk about our hopes and dreams for the future. It’s a privilege when we get to celebrate the success of our former students with them. FPHS students who attended Midland or have another connection to Midland are invited back to walk through in their caps and gowns, led by the high school pep band. We end our time in the gym with the seniors recalling their time at Midland. Perhaps some of our students’ older brothers and sisters will be participating! It’s a great reminder to our students of what’s to come!
I want to congratulate all our district’s high school seniors! We celebrate with you!!
It's great to be a MUSTANG!
~Dr. Paula Dawson
