The mission of the Franklin County Public Schools is to prepare students for further education and employment to enable them to participate as responsible family members and citizens of Franklin County and the world community. To accomplish this mission, the school system emphasizes instruction, technology and career choices. The use of instructional technology continues to play an important role in the education of our students.
All schools have fiber optic networks and all libraries are automated.
Electronic reference materials and the Internet may be accessed from each classroom. Distance learning is also utilized in the division. Technology provides many tools to support teacher-based instruction and provides vital opportunities to enhance students' ability to succeed in future educational endeavors and in the workplace. Plans for the future include installing a Wide Area Network, continued training for all staff, adding work stations and multimedia production tools, and promoting community access to technology. As they move through their educational experience, the relationship of their education to careers continues with speakers from and visits to businesses and industries and placements of students in area jobs.
