Today we had the honor of celebrating Bring Your Legislator to School Day!
We are incredibly thankful for Senator Corbin and his wife Beth for taking the time to visit, connect with our students, and see firsthand the amazing things happening throughout the Macon County School System. Opportunities like this help our students better understand leadership, civic responsibility, and the impact of public service.
Thank you Senator Corbin & Beth for your continued support of education and for investing in the future of our community!

Thank you Franklin Panthers Sports Network (FPSN) and Macon County Schools Facility Director Tracy Tallent for the March 2026 Construction Update! As FPSN has stated, lots of changes have taken place. The Stairwells and Elevator shaft for the 3-Story Classroom building have risen high into the sky. The roofs of the Gym, Auditorium, and Fine Arts Center are taking shape. The football field is being prepared for Turf installation and we have our first look inside the press box! Exciting things continue!
