We had an amazing opportunity to learn more about several of the certification programs offered at Vance Granville Community College as several of their staff members spoke to a group of Juniors and Seniors recently.  These programs provide valuable skills and certifications that can help our students get a head start on their career paths.

We’re excited about the possibilities this partnership brings and grateful to Vance Granville Community College for helping empower our students with these opportunities!

Congratulations to Tommy Kemp on working with Airgas so our school can be part of the High School Welding Initiative for 2024! Franklinton High School is one of 65 schools from across the country to be chosen for the initiative. Selection was based on four key factors: high unmet need at the school; a productive welding program with the potential to graduate job-ready welders; passionate teachers; and enthusiastic local Airgas champions. Participating programs receive a customized mix of hands-on professional development training or continuing education for welding teachers in close collaboration with Airgas associates. In addition, Airgas donates welding consumables or equipment, safety PPE, and other resources to help support welding program growth within these schools. Mr. Kemp is excited about receiving a new MIG Welder for shop. 

The John Brown Big Band performed pieces that immersed our students in the rich sounds of jazz legends like Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, and many more.

What a great event for all of our student athletes! It was a great opportunity for our students to show sportsmanship and team spirit! Students were able to participate in a wide variety of events. A special thank you to all those who helped organize this event!

Our Hospitality and Tourism program enjoyed a wonderful field trip to The Umstead Hotel and Spa in downtown Raleigh recently. The staff at Umstead were extremely gracious with their time and showed our students every aspect of the facility and guest services. This was a great opportunity for our students to experience a real world environment in hotel management as they work to earn American Hotel and Lodging Educational Institute certification.
