Franklin County is named a “District on the Rise” for significant improvements in math!
The latest National Education Scorecard has been released, and out of school districts across the entire country, Franklin County has been recognized for showing exceptional improvements in math following the COVID-19 pandemic. In fact, Franklin County was only one of nine districts in the state to receive this recognition. These findings come from the Education Scorecard, an annual report compiled by researchers from Harvard, Stanford, and Dartmouth. The study analyzed student test scores across 37 states to identify where academic growth is happening. Overall, Kentucky ranked 8th best for gains in math.
We are so proud of our students, educators, and families who made this recognition possible. Let’s keep this momentum going, FCS!
Please join us in congratulating our newest graduates from The Academy 🎓 We are so proud of you and can't wait to see what you accomplish in the future!

As we prepare to celebrate the achievements of the FCHS and WHHS graduates this Saturday, we are closely monitoring the weather forecast. Our priority is the safety of our students, staff, and guests, and we want to ensure everyone is prepared for any adjustments we may need to make due to potential rain and storms. Please review our schedule and contingency plans below so we can make this day as smooth as possible for our graduates.
Graduation Schedule (Current Plan):
Franklin County High School (FCHS): 10:00 AM on the FCHS Football Field
Western Hills High School (WHHS): 6:00 PM on the WHHS Football Field
Weather Contingency Plans:
Plan A (Light Rain): We will proceed outside on the football fields as scheduled. If the forecast calls for light rain, please dress accordingly and bring a poncho or raincoat.
Plan B (Delayed Start): If a storm is passing through, we will delay the start time and utilize the schools as holding areas for guests and graduates.
- FCHS will be delayed no later than 1:00 PM
- WHHS will be delayed no later than 8:00 PM
Plan C (Move Indoors): If the severe weather does not pass and we cannot remain outside, the ceremonies will be moved to the respective school gymnasiums. Due to a smaller space, we would ask that families limit attendance to five guests per graduate so we can accommodate everyone. While we want to reassure you that we will not turn any guests away, please be prepared that the gym may be crowded, and some individuals may have to stand.
Our band and choir students are an essential part of graduation. If we are outside and there is no rain, the band and choir will perform live. If we move inside, we can’t fit the band, choir, graduates, and families all in one gymnasium. We’ve asked our music students to pre-record audio and video of their performances that can be used during the ceremonies if necessary.
If any changes to the time or location become necessary, we will notify you immediately using our school notification system. Thank you all for your flexibility, understanding, and cooperation as we work to give our seniors the celebration they deserve.
Last night, Franklin County Career & Technical Center held its Senior Student Awards Ceremony. Students were recognized for earning certifications in their respective trades and teachers proudly highlighted their students' achievements.
We’d like to extend our thanks to FCCTC leadership for their commitment to making this event special. Thank you to Capital City Church for graciously hosting, to our incredible CTC teachers and families, and to our sponsorship providers who support student success.
Please join us in congratulating all of our students on their outstanding high school careers!

FCS Community,
As we prepare to celebrate our graduates from WHHS and FCHS, we are monitoring the weather forecast. The graduation ceremonies are scheduled to take place outdoors on the football fields this Saturday, rain or shine. Please plan on attending as scheduled. We encourage all of our guests to bring ponchos or rain gear. Umbrellas are acceptable, but not recommended due to safety and visibility issues.
If we have heavy rain or severe storms, we will temporarily move guests into the school gyms until the weather passes. We will communicate via the school notification system any potential delays or changes to the schedule. Thank you and we look forward to celebrating our graduates.
