FRA News and Events

The National Honor Society (NHS) was founded in 1921 to recognize students who embody the ideals of scholarship, character, leadership, and service. Every year, FRA invites sophomores, juniors, and seniors who meet the academic and service requirements to apply. Following the application and review process, students are selected for membership. New members are responsible for continuing to demonstrate scholarship, leadership, character, and service. This year, we inducted a talented group of 33 students.

Franklin Road Academy is proud to announce the exceptional academic achievements of five outstanding students who have been recognized by the National Merit Scholarship Program. Among them, Bailey Bonde has been named a semi-finalist. Caleb Deering, Kathleen Pritchartt, Taylor Robinson, and Leland Solesby have been recognized as National Merit Commended Scholars.

Our annual Legacy Breakfast occurred last Wednesday, September 20, in the Weicker Center for Student Life. During the breakfast, our community had the chance to catch up with old peers, celebrate with current classmates, and spend time with their families. Legacy families are those alumni who have previously graduated from FRA and are current students on our campus.
