BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
Fostering
since 1957
WHY FRANKLIN IS SPECIAL...
From courses such as Asian American Studies and Existential Literature Research to 3-Dimensional Computer-Aided Design and Dramatic Literature, we update our course catalog each year to offer new and diverse content that excites and challenges students.
We are thrilled to offer eight Dual Enrollment classes, eight LSU STEM Pathways courses, 17 research classes, and 27 AP courses to meet students’ interests and get them ready for college.
We have the very best teachers for the very best students. Our faculty features National Board-certified teachers, multiple Louisiana Teachers of the Year, and a Milken Educator Award recipient.
Our student body is incredibly diverse
Over 60% of our students identify as students of color.
We’re proud to be a public school that serves students from all different backgrounds and experiences.
Franklin students come from every ZIP code in the city.
At Franklin, we realize that academics is only part of the high school experience. We offer more than 80 student groups, clubs and teams.
Whatever you’re interested in – anime, soccer, chess, fashion, K-pop, golf, poetry, science, drama, or robotics – we have a spot for you!
We are developing the future leaders of the city. If you can’t find a club that appeals to you, you’re encouraged to get a few other students together and start one.
