FRANKLIN – A committee of Franklin High School parents and school officials is raising funds for a permanent 15-foot Student Achievement Sign on Panther Way honoring the school’s championship tradition.
The sign will recognize 12 Franklin High School Division I state championship teams dating back to 1982, with room to recognize future achievements in athletics, performing arts and academic competitions. Research into championships before 1982 is still ongoing.
This is a community-funded project, with all funding coming from parents, booster organizations, local businesses and other community members rather than the school budget. Organizers have raised $36,900 toward a $55,000 goal, leaving $18,100 still needed.
Championship alumni and their families are encouraged to contribute, while organizers are also seeking 8 to 10 local business Community Partners. Businesses will receive sponsorship benefits, recognition at a spring ribbon-cutting ceremony and permanent recognition on the sign. Individual and corporate donors contributing more than $500 will also be recognized on the signage.
Those interested in supporting the project can view the Sponsor Information Packet or donate through UniPay.
Questions about the project can be directed to [email protected].
