Graduation Livestream Information
We are excited to share that Franklin High School will host our first ever livestream during Graduation on Friday, June 5 at 7:00 PM from the WCU Ramsey Center.
Our plan is to stream the ceremony on both the FHS Facebook page and school YouTube channel to give families multiple ways to watch.
We encourage families to go ahead and follow our Facebook page and subscribe to our YouTube before the event. If one stream has any connection issues, the other may still be available as a backup viewing option.
After final testing at WCU, we will share any important updates and direct viewing links here before the ceremony begins.
We are looking forward to celebrating the Class of 2026!
Thank you Jodi and Tim at Highlands Riverbend RV Resort and Cabins for providing a phenomenal and relaxing venue and food today for our staff to close out the year with an amazing cookout.
We would like to say congratulations to Coach Jay Brooks, Coach Scott Hartbarger, and Mrs. Michelle Brooks on their well deserved retirements. We wish you the best in your next chapter. You will be missed.

Seniors: GRADUATION DAY
Jun 5, 2026
WCU RAMSEY CENTER
7:00 P.M
ARRIVAL TIME for Seniors: 3:30 -4:00
NO LATER THAN 4:00 P.M.
We will practice the ceremony before graduation begins. You must meet in the WCU arena no later than 4:00 p.m. You will enter from the bottom floor. Look for a faculty member to tell you where to go.
We will adjust the seats of those students not in attendance if needed, so please arrive on time. If you are late, you will not walk!
After we practice from 5:00 to 6:00, we will have a cookout for all seniors in the creek lot across from the Ramsey Center. This is free for all seniors. If you would like to bring a blanket or chair, you are welcome to.
Students are not permitted to decorate their caps unless G.S. 115C-407.40 applies to you.
If you disrupt the ceremony in any way, your diploma will be held until your consequences have been determined. This includes, but is not limited to, flags under your gown and brought out on stage, and disrespectful or vulgar gestures on stage.
Make sure to bring your cap and gown. If, for some reason, you forget, see a senior sponsor. DO NOT GO BACK HOME!!!
Students, please park in the parking deck right across from the Ramsey Center. If a family member requires handicap parking, security will direct traffic and can help with parking or dropping off at the door.
Following the Ceremony, all seniors will march back into the auxiliary gym where each of you will receive an envelope of materials, including your diploma, from your senior sponsor. See the sponsor immediately following the ceremony in the auxiliary gym.
Due to the use of loud noises at graduation, such as air horns, please advise your friends and family NOT TO BRING THEM UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
It is a sign of disrespect when other friends and family cannot hear their graduate’s name called.
People with hearing aids or cochlear implants may suffer more medical damage due to air horns being used and will have to leave the facility and miss their graduate walking across the stage.
Air Horns are not allowed at graduation for any reason.
