Alma Mater

Franklin High, our Alma Mater, in your honor now we stand
Thanking thee for all the knowledge Gained beneath thy guiding hand.
Thou hast helped us; Thous hast taught us; And inspired us in ev'ry way;
And with kindness hast thou wrought us, Worthy students of our day.

Franklin High, our Alma Mater, Unto thee our voices rise;
Thou hast shown us paths of virtue, Guided us with counsel wise.
All thy precepts, all thy teachings Long will live and long prevail;
Ne'er in life will we forget thee, Franklin, Alma Mater, Hail!

Fight Song

Let's give a hike, hike, hike for Franklin, Our Alma Mater dear to all.
Let's give a rah, rah, rah for Franklin, No matter if we stand or fall.
Colors bright, orange, green and white, Falcons we're with you
Win or lose, let your cheers ring out.
So lift your voices, yell for Franklin, Sing her praises on high.
