The annual Franklin County FFA “Drive Your Tractor to School Day” took place on Friday, May 2. 38 individuals participated in tractor day with such guest as the Kentucky Department of Agriculture Commissioner Mr. James Comer, Ms. Alli Higgs, the Kentucky FFA State President, Mr. Ryan Halligan, the Kentucky State 4-H President, and Mr. Buddy Sampson, the Franklin County High School Principal.

The drivers met at 7:45 a.m. at the Franklin County Extension Office for pictures and breakfast. Many parents, guests, and community members were present as the lawnmowers left first for the high school. The lawn mower drivers, led by Michael Hudkins, cut across Lakeview Park as the tractors, led by John Fehsal, left for the school via Steadmantown Ave. and US 460.

Upon arriving at the high school, the drivers were greeted by the FCHS student body. For some students this is their first chance to really get close to a tractor, so the drivers were excited to talk about the tractors they were driving. Click "Read More" to view photos from the event.

Dress Code for 2013-14 School Year
Parents,

As you are aware, a primary responsibility of Franklin County High School is the establishment of high standards for student conduct in order to prepare its students for postsecondary success. Just two nights ago a local news broadcast was emphasizing how young people are getting passed over at job fairs due to their attire. On top of the professional standard for dress, FCHS also has an obligation to minimize distractions – and I’m sure you are aware of the distractions associated with revealing clothing in a high school setting. That being said, the FCHS School Based Decision Making council passed a new dress code for the upcoming school year.  We wanted to give you plenty of time to shop for your student for next year. Below you will find a link to the 2013-14 Dress Code Policy. If you have any questions about the dress code, please contact either of the three principals via email: Buddy Sampson, Morgan Howell, or Charles Lewis
