Alumni Welcome
WELCOME, ALUMNI!
FRA started our school year with 1090 students and countless smiles with promise for a great year. Do you remember your first day of school at FRA and your excitement to be on campus? We welcomed 18 new Legacy students to the school this year, and we are thrilled to have all of them join the FRAmily. This year, we are proud to have 106 Legacy students enrolled. It is great to see our alumni bring their children to FRA.

Alumni Spotlight: Jackie Jenkins Daniel ‘87
The confidence to problem-solve is a skill I have taken with me throughout my entire career. As I took a leap of faith and began my catering business following college, it was because of FRA that I knew how to strategize and overcome hurdles placed in front of me. At the beginning of my business, I was catering out of my home before moving to West Side Athletic Club. After some exposure there, I was asked to come work with Bread and Company before acquiring my Green Hills space in 1997.

Alumni Spotlight: Brandon Grass ‘04
After attending FRA for thirteen years and still being involved in the life of the school today as a coach, I see that FRA has remained dedicated to developing kids as a whole, not only athletically or academically but spiritually as well. There is a focus on developing well-rounded people and helping kids grow in all aspects of who they are. FRA's emphasis on faith is as strong as ever and has been the foundation of their work. I owe so much of who I am today to the principles instilled in me throughout my time at FRA.

Alumni Spotlight: Captain Bo Korpman ‘12
It’s a gift to be able to reflect upon one’s life and pinpoint a truly-formative experience. As I look back on my thirteen years at Franklin Road Academy, however, it’s clear that the molding and shaping I underwent there spanned not just a singular moment but an entire childhood.
