It is my pleasure to lead and to serve at Benjamin Franklin High School/Franklin Dual Language Academy. As a 1985 alumni, I am thrilled to be given the opportunity to return “home”.
Benjamin Franklin High School is the heart of Highland Park. We offer a full High School experience beginning with a rigorous curriculum that focuses on A-G course requirements, Honors, AP and cooperative learning opportunities in every classroom. Through our partnership with UCLA and Beyond the Bell, we offer more than 35 clubs that meet before school, during lunch and after school. Our sports program is competitive and respected by our opponents. Our Academic Decathlon and Cyber Patriots have ranked high in the State and in the Nation respectively. Beginning this year, we will welcome the Franklin Dual Language Academy serving our 6th and 7th grade students.
Parent and community collaboration is welcomed and encouraged. Franklin has a full time Parent and Community Center open during the school hours. All are welcomed to attend workshops, meetings and Coffee with the Principal.
I value the dedication our teachers, counselors, administrators and out of classroom personnel extend to our students. We believe it takes a village to raise, encourage, teach, and support our students/children as they navigate their middle and high school years.
Thank you for choosing Franklin High School, Franklin Dual Language Academy!
Proud to be a Panther!
