Franklinton High School is three floors although the building is situated on an incline. The lower level (downhill side) primarily consists of the cafeteria, auditorium, gymnasium and vocational wing including art, music, technology, shop and agriculture. All of the sports fields are also on the downhill side heading towards Cedar Creek. Two floors are on the upper level (uphill side) which consist of the administrative offices and library along with the English, math, science, social studies and foreign language wings.
History
The old high school initially started as a graded school for white students in 1924, first known as Franklinton Public School. When schools were fully integrated in 1969, the upper grades were consolidated with B.F. Person-Albion High School which had educated African-American students. The lower grades were moved to that school and was renamed Franklinton Elementary School. Franklinton Public School became Franklinton High School. From 1969 until present, Franklinton High School includes grades 9 through 12.
