SCHOOL
HISTORY
Franklin school district was formed in 1859 and since that
time has absorbed all the little schools in the southwest
part of the Elk Grove district: Point Pleasant (1866 to 1928);
Goethe (a district formed in 1910 that never built a school);
Mokelumne (1861 to 1949); and Prairie/East Union (1856 to
1914). The school was organized as Franklin Academy, an ambitious
plan to serve all the area's farm students including those
of high school age. The name comes from the Franklin House,
a stage stop built by Andrew George whose mother's maiden
name had been Franklin. He had not intended to name the town
after her, for he preferred that the town was Georgetown,
after himself. But, it appears that the people over the years
liked Franklin better than Georgetown, and it has been said
that there was confusion with the Georgetown in the foothills.
We continue to call the place Franklin today as it has been
for many years.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
Franklin Elementary School is dedicated to developing respectful and responsible citizens who seek to make positive contributions to our diverse society. We resolve to accomplish this by:
- Maintaining a safe and nurturing learning environment
- Demanding high academic expectations of our students, staff, and parents
- Sustaining a strong and lasting sense of community
