Franklin-Monroe High School in a word... Caring
Franklin-Monroe High School is a Hometown Hero because...
After Hurricane Katrina's devastation, Franklin Monroe's FFA(Future Farmers of America) Club, wanted to help in whatever way possible. Through group planning, finding adults to chaperone and supervise the work and tying in with local churches for shelter while working, the group has made three trips to the effected area to help re-build homes for disabled and elderly homeowners. Not only have they hung drywall and rebuilt roofs, but more importantly they've built relationships that will last a lifetime. This same club is planning their fourth trip to the Mississippi area in April, and while the young men in the group may change as they graduate, imagine the impact they were able to make while in High School and what an impact they will make on the world to come.
