FranklinNOW editor Mark Maley has come through as promised with the Honor Rolls for the City of Franklin. This feature should be updated on a regular basis according to Mark. I am a firm believer that academic excellence should be featured in the community just as we praise our students for their athletic and extracurricular achievements. After all, isn't this the key reason we are willing to pay the taxes we do, for the kids.
Bryan:
I just wanted to give you a heads up that we have posted the first semester honor roll for Franklin HS on a prominent location on FranklinNOW.com.
Here is direct link:
I understand from school officials that the third quarter honor roll will be released soon, and when it is, it will be PROMPTLY posted online.
We still have one or two minor glitches to work out on the online certificates for each student, but we thought it was important to get the names up there as soon as possible. There are more than 600 students on the honor roll, and we agree with you that it's important these outstanding students get recognition.
Your readers may wonder why there are other schools on this list, like DSHA and Marquette University HS. That's because those schools draw from all over the metro area, so we are including their honor rolls on all NOW sites.
I should also extend an open invitation to all Franklin schools -- private and public, middle school and elementary -- to send their honor rolls to me and I will include them on this list. The school district just sent us FHS; but other districts have been sending us middle school honor rolls, too.
Thanks for being so diligent about pursuing this issue.
