Franklin High School has a long and rich history of providing education to the young people of WilliamsonCounty. It began in 1910 with twenty students and two teachers in a few upstairs rooms of the Franklin Institute, the old FranklinElementary School, located at Five Corners. That first Franklin High School graduated three students in 1912. One of the early principals was an educator by the name of Miss Nell Shea. In the fall of 1926, the new Franklin High School opened its doors on a site atop a hill on Columbia Avenue. G.E. Craddock was the principal when this move was made, and he carried with him a staff of ten teachers and a senior class of 33. Courses taught included English, math, history, science, French, Latin, home economics and manual arts, taught by Mr. Craddock, the principal. In 1936, W.C. Yates became principal of Franklin High School. In addition to serving as principal, Mr. Yates also taught agriculture. In 1941, when FHS first became accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, it had 13 teaching staff members and a senior class of 53. Mr. Daly Thompson, who earlier had served as superintendent of schools while teaching Bible and science at Franklin High School, became principal in the early 1950’s.
