PreK enjoyed their Easter Egg Hunt! Thanks to the Pendleton Senior & Family Services!
We are so proud of these two outstanding students for representing our school at the Regional Social Studies Fair! Their hard work, dedication, and passion truly paid off, as both earned an impressive 3rd place finish in their categories. Congratulations on this incredible achievement—we couldn’t be prouder! 🎉📚
The Franklin School Association would like to send out a heart-felt thank you to all of our generous sponsors. Our spring carnival would not have been possible without the generosity of these businesses and individuals. Thank you!
Thank you to the families who attended FSA's first ever spring carnival! We were blown away by the abundance of support for this event. The night was full of laughter and fun.
We would also like to thank all of our volunteers, both parents and staff. It wouldn't have been possible without such a dedicated team.
We look forward to celebrating again next year!

Thursday, we celebrated our students who achieved A Honor Roll, AB Honor Roll, the Citizenship Award, and our Top 5 AR Readers during the 3rd nine-weeks awards ceremonies. Families were invited to attend and watch their students receive these well-earned honors.
Three Cheers for Our Book Fair Volunteers!
We were so fortunate to have an incredible group of volunteers who helped make this year’s Book Fair a success. This event simply wouldn’t be possible without their time, energy, and dedication. A BIG THANK YOU to each and every one of you!
We would also like to give a special shoutout to one truly outstanding volunteer—Carol Vandevander—who has been running the FES Scholastic Book Fair for an amazing 40 years! Her commitment and passion have made a lasting impact on our school community.
Year after year, she brings a little extra magic to the Book Fair—especially when she brings Professor McGonagall to life, delighting students and making the experience even more memorable.
We are so grateful for all she has done!

Pendleton County Schools recently became aware of private social media messages exchanged between two individuals, one of whom served as a citizen coach (a non-full-time position) within our school system. In those messages, the coach repeatedly used racist and threatening language.
We were shocked and disturbed during our review of the messages. This language and behavior do not reflect the values or expectations of Pendleton County Schools. Our school system is committed to fostering an environment of respect, dignity, and inclusion for all students, families, and members of our community.
Because this conduct is unequivocally inconsistent with those values, the individual is no longer serving as a citizen coach within Pendleton County Schools. Immediate action was taken to end the individual’s services in that role.
We sincerely apologize to the family who was directly impacted by these messages. While the messages were communicated in the individual’s personal capacity using private social media or technology, they nonetheless cast an unwanted shadow on our school system given his former coaching role.
Pendleton County Schools also apologizes to our employees and community members who work every day to uphold the values of respect, dignity, and inclusion that define our schools.
