Those passing through downtown Franklin have an opportunity to become acquainted with members of the Class of 2021 from area high schools, including Franklin High School (FHS), as banners bearing graduates’ names and faces line the streets on lampposts.
In a June 28 release, FHS offered thanks to Christine Hill, from Coldwell Banker, for sponsoring the senior banners, and the City of Franklin, for hanging them up in downtown Franklin.
“This has become a unique City of Franklin and FHS tradition in just two years,” FHS officials said in the release. “Thank you to everyone in the Franklin community for supporting our 2021 graduates.”
