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.

Franklin High School has built a special tradition over the past few years of announcing our Teacher of the Year and Support Staff Person of the Year during Battle of the Classes, surrounded by our students.
This year, we were proud to announce Mrs. Meg Mileti as the FHS Teacher of the Year. Meg is an EC teacher at Franklin High School who consistently goes above and beyond for her students and the school she serves.
For our Support Staff Person of the Year, we had a first — at least as far as we can remember — a tie in the voting. Both honorees are truly deserving.
First, we are proud to recognize Dennis Ray, one of our main building custodians. Dennis is the man who literally opens our building every morning, and he invests in our school and our students in ways many people may never fully realize.
But wait, there’s more.
Last, but certainly not least, the staff also voted Mrs. Tina Higdon, our FHS Bookkeeper, as Support Staff Person of the Year. Tina does so much behind the scenes for our school, clubs, activities, and athletics. She has no problem keeping us all in line, and we are proud to recognize her for the important role she plays at Franklin High School.
Congratulations to Mrs. Meg Mileti, Dennis Ray, and Tina Higdon on these well-deserved honors!
