A Soaring Start for FCHS (Pep Rally Photo Collage)

By Lily Lovette--Eagle Staff Writer

Soaring into the new school year Franklin County High School has surprised students by the first ever opening day pep rally. On Thursday the first day of the 2024 to 2025 school year, Eagles were brought to the stadium bright and early. Here students and staff celebrated a fresh start to the year, had a grand introduction to the new FCHS principal, and as always made time to dance.
