The prom and graduation season is a time of celebration for teenagers and their families, providing lifetime memories. Unfortunately, it is also a time when teens encounter situations that may lead them to make bad decisions. That's why a group of concerned parents at Franklin High School began an event in 2005 called Project Graduation.
Patterned after a nation-wide movement by the Mothers Against Drunk Driving organization, Project Graduation is an all-night, drug and alcohol-free celebration for the Franklin High School graduating class.

Hosted by the FHS Parent Association, the event will provide graduates with a safe celebration of their high school accomplishments.
The theme of this year's event will be Cruise to the Future. In addition to dozens of cruise ship-style activities, there will be plenty of food, music and prizes for those who attend. After safely creating wonderful memories together as a class, the teens will “disembark the cruise” and leave for home at sunrise.
Project Graduation relies on the support of business and individual contributions. Community leaders living in Franklin are invited to support this worthy cause. Donations of cash, merchandise of interest to new graduates, and/or gifts of services are all needed for the event. For business contributors, various Project Graduation sponsorship opportunities offer attractive marketing and public relations benefits in exchange for support.
To donate or for more information, please call FHS Project Graduation 2011 Co-Chair Gail Chiaravalle at 791-5508 or email her at gailchiaravalle@att.net.
