Franklin High School in Jersey City
The best way to discover Franklin is to visit one of the on-site Open House events. We invite you to delve into our curriculum, meet our esteemed faculty, and explore our innovative learning approach. Engage with our vibrant community through casual conversations with our current students to better understand what sets our school apart and makes it so dynamic. If you’re new to our school and eager to get acquainted, this is the perfect opportunity to begin your journey with us. Refreshments will be served. The Open House event is open to parents and students, and we ask that families register via Ravenna as space is limited.
Highlights of Franklin’s inaugural year: A team of Franklin students has won the Worldwide Sparkathon 2023 challenge to combat ocean pollution. Franklin students have made a difference while participating and volunteering in local community service. One example is the Haven Adolescent Community Respite Center; through our Make: Able challenge, we helped individuals with disabilities or specific needs improve the functionality and quality of their lives. In our Design Thinking and Entrepreneurship class, students have supported schools in the community to create innovative ways to develop literacy and numeracy skills. These are just some of the examples of the accomplishments that our students have achieved in just a year. We can’t wait to see what is in the future for our students in the coming year.
