About Us
About Franklinton Middle School
The town of Franklinton grew and flourished during the 1900s due to the Sterling Cotton Mill, and the owner of the mill built the school as a gift to the town in 1923. Over almost 100 years, the building has housed K-12 all in one building, a middle/high school, and then only high school until 2011. The building underwent extensive renovations and re-opened as a middle school in 2013.
The school continues to grow and evolve into a community school of choice. We house the Boys and Girls Club, which allows students a safe after-school experience, as well as a community STEAM lab, where students can interact with state-of-the-art equipment and technology. We continue to work with the community to increase what we can offer to all of our students.
We are dedicated to caring for the whole child along with the whole family. Our small size allows us to know and care for each child, each teacher, and each other as we work together to create a safe and stable environment where all people can learn and grow.
