Exceptional Children

Michael has taught at Franklinton High School since 2019. Michael coaches football, girls basketball, and Men's Tennis at FHS.

I currently teach high school English and I am the department chair for the Exceptional Children's department. I have experience working with students of all abilities K-12th grade.

Mrs. Rowe is an alumni of Franklinton High School. She graduated from UNC-Pembroke and intended to teach elementary aged students. After a few years, Mrs. Rowe decided to try teaching high school aged students, and the rest was history. Mrs. Rowe has been a part of Franklin County Schools since 2011 with a small break to be a stay at home mom after having her youngest child. She has two daughters that keep her busy with Gymnastics, Swim, Karate, Theater and Softball. Mrs. Rowe enjoys camping and spending time with her family and dog, Dolly!

Mrs. Southerland is in her 11th year as an educator with Franklin County Schools, and she is thrilled to be working on her first year as a member of the Red Ram family. After graduating from East Carolina University with a Bachelor’s in Elementary Education, she spent several years at Long Mill Elementary. During her time at LoMES, she was nominated as Teacher of the Year in 2016 and again in 2022. She is excited to continue working with students in the Franklin County community in her new role at FHS. While she is originally from Williamsburg, Va, she is proud to call Franklin County home now with her husband, Patrick, who is an educator at Vance Granville Community College. Outside of school, Mrs. Southerland enjoys family time with her two children, playing with her 2 dogs, and volunteering at church.
