2021 Homecoming - October 4 - 9
We're looking forward to the return of many great Homecoming traditions here at FHS. See this page on the FHS website for details on the Homecoming dance. More details to come as they are available.
Homecoming Parade Volunteers Needed!
If you have a cool truck or convertible and would like to drive our Homecoming court in the parade on Wednesday, October 6, please contact Jordan Hein, AD, at jordan.hein@franklin.k12.wi.us.
Activities and Clubs
Activities/Clubs will be starting soon. Pay attention to student emails and announcements to hear more from your club advisor. All clubs/activities can be found here.
Bus Driver Shortages
The bus driver shortage is real and it is having a direct impact on athletics and activities that occur after school. Until the shortage improves and more drivers are hired, we will not be able to depart for after school competitions or activities between the hours of 2 pm and 4 pm on school days. This will require us to leave early and wait at the destination or leave later and delay the start of the competition.
The athletics/activities office frequently receives bus cancellations or changes in the afternoon which we try to communicate to coaches right away. Our coaches are working hard to adjust and we appreciate your flexibility as a family.
Sportsmanship
Be relentlessly positive and respectful at games - all the time. Cheer for our students on the field. Focus on our players, not our opponent or their fans. Profane, disrespectful, or targeted cheers, actions, or individual yells are not allowed and will result in immediate removal from the site. Our student-section brings a crazy energy to the competition - let's make sure it's positive so we can be remembered the right way.
Hit the Weights!
The weight room is open for student use every day after school until 4:oo pm. Join us and get stronger, faster, together!

"When making plans, think big. When making progress, think small." - James Clear
"When adversity strikes, there’s not a one-size-fits-all response. People will feel how they will feel; you can’t force others to interpret the situation the way you do. All we can do is support each other as we navigate this situation together. Calm is contagious." - Justin Su'a
