Dear Franklin Community,

Welcome to the Benjamin Franklin web site. I hope that you find the web site informational for your specific needs. Franklin has had a storied past as a junior high, a high school, and for the last 20 years, a middle school. I am very proud of Franklin ’s history and excited about being part of Franklin ’s future.

At BFMS, we have high expectations for students, staff, and parents. Excellence is expected in the areas of academics, extra-curricular activities, and behavior. Although these areas are commendable, we will continue to strive for “Excellence for All”. This district-wide initiative is very evident in every classroom at Franklin .

This fall we will continue to focus on our three school wide goals: reading improvement, math computation, and the social/emotional well being of our students. Our plan is to make sure that all parties involved both understand the goals, and work to become part of the solution.

My charge to parents is to be involved. It has been proven that students that have parents involved in the school process will have more success in schools. There are a multitude of opportunities to volunteer in the classroom, and we would love to have you also be apart of our progressive PTA that supports Franklin . Most importantly, ask questions of your students, check the Centerpoint grading system, or contact your teachers. We are here to make middle school a productive learning experience.
