One of the schools of Franklin was Union, an 11 room brick structure at thecorner of Eleventh and Buffalo Streets. In 1876 Room 11 was calledFranklin High School...Mary Wilson, graduate of Edinboro State Normal Schoolwas the first high school teacher...Professor N. P. Kinsley was the firsthigh school Principal in 1876 and was soon named to the superintendency ofthe local schools, a position he held for nearly 40 years.
Due to overcrowding at Union School, work began on a high school on Otter Street inthe spring of 1902 with occupancy in Sept. 1904. In 1937 the Junior Highwas added to the school, and is still in use as an elementary school. Theold high school was razed in 1964 and pupils began to attend a new school onPone Lane in Sandycreek Township.
The Franklin High School and Alumni Association was formed in May 1930...Mrs. Harry B. Bradley [Avanelle Maitland, class of 1893] had kept detailed records of the school and its students[the list follows] and she was a moving force behind the organization and was chosen its first president.
