Education Corner: A quick word from Franklin County Schools

FRANKLIN LIVING—The Franklin County Schools district is off to a great start this 2019-2020 school year.  The employees and students in our system are absolutely amazing. I am honored to work in a system with such incredible people who love and care about children and teaching students to do and be their very best.

Our school system has many construction projects taking place at several of our campuses. This is a very positive movement in our district, as we continue to upgrade facilities and equipment so our teachers and students can have the best possible resources available.

The plans are to maintain and improve the infrastructure of our campuses so students are provided with a safe and prosperous learning environment.

We are very fortunate to have a great school resource officer helping to ensure we have a safe learning environment. The Franklin County Schools system added a second resource officer Aug. 21.

I am looking forward to a very productive and exciting school year.

Greg Hamilton is superintendent of Franklin County Schools. He and his wife Jessica have four children: Taylor, Carolyna, Dakota and Ty.
