About Us
Franklin Independent School District (ISD) covers 413 square miles of eastern Robertson County. There are nine bus routes, covering more than 450 miles.
The first school building in Franklin was a frame structure built in 1881. The philosophy of the school was published as follows: "We believe pupils should be taught taste and refinement, and in view of this neither means nor pains have been spared to make our building pleasant and attractive, as well as suitable for scientific thought."
The high school was completed in 1984. The elementary school was completely renovated in 1985, and a 10-classroom addition, media center and office were added in 1987.
