Celebrating the future with our 2025 FHS Graduates

"As we go on, we remember

All the times we had together

And as our lives change, come whatever

We will still be friends forever..."

Vitamin C wrote these lyrics in her 1999 song "Graduation (Friends Forever)," and they remain just as poignant today as they were twenty-six years ago.

The FHS Warrior would like to congratulate each member of the Franklin High School Class of 2025. We wish you the best of luck in all your future endeavors and invite you to carry the memories of your time at Franklin High School with you as your lives continue to grow and change.

Remember that graduation is not just an ending—it’s a beginning. Whether you are heading to college, entering the workforce, joining the military, or exploring new paths, know that the values, friendships, and lessons you’ve gained at Franklin High School will remain a part of who you are. Below are some of the future plans shared by members of the Franklin High School Class of 2025.
