Franklin High School

Today was a special day for our FHS Lady Panthers as they showed their support for the future of our program by sitting with and cheering on the Macon County Girls Basketball teams during their games. Moments like this remind us what it means to be part of a basketball community — building relationships, encouraging young players, and showing them what Panther pride looks like. A big thank you to our amazing town for continuing to support our youth programs and for standing behind our FHS Lady Panthers. Your encouragement and investment in our young athletes make a lasting impact! The future is bright, and we’re proud to grow it together.
