Advisory - Preparing 4 Life!

The Franklinton High School Advisory program promotes meaningful relationships between staff and students, and provides academic, emotional, and career focused support to students. Through weekly advisory meetings, students engage in social, college, and career essential readiness activities. Students develop an individualized student success plan to map out their educational path and set needed academic and personal goals.

Blended Learning

Our blended learning program (BLP) offers students an alternative pathway to graduation. Blended learning is a mixture of online learning at home with the benefit of on-site teacher status check ups and support. Students are given a computer and hot spot to begin working at home. Their progress is monitored by our digital learning teacher. Students communicate on a regular basis through emails, texts, phone calls, and in person meetings.

Students are able to work through courses at their own pace, allowing for a truly personalized learning experience and making this is a wonderful option for students who need flexibility when life situations demand it.
