Mrs. Sweeney

Welcome! I look forward to getting to know you and watching you grow in our class this year! I'm also excited to share the Scholé method during our math learning activities. You can learn more about this classical learning method by clicking on the titled tab at the top on this home page. Click on the other tabs for class details and resources including the syllabus, supply list, lesson plans, assignment calendar, tutoring and additional information. Please advise if I can help further. Email is the best way for parents/guardians to reach me. tsweeney@bfcsaz.com

The Charger Way

'Be strong and rejoice in the challenge. Yield not to misfortune, but advance all the more boldly against it. Act honorably and with integrity in all situations.'

"The human being is born with an inclination towards virtue." ---Musonius Rufus

BFHS Mission Statement

The mission of Benjamin Franklin High School is to train students to be intellectually curious - akin to the namesake of our school. Through intensive study of the Good, the True, and the Beautiful, students develop to their academic and personal potential. Additionally, the school will train the heart of students according to universally accepted and eternal virtues - understanding that the best education is only valuable upon a moral foundation. Thus, our students walk with integrity and character, knowing what it is to be a thoughtful citizen in a democratic-republic and a positive force in their community.

Students often ask, "When am I ever going to use this?". Click on the link below to hear Neil deGrasse Tyson briefly explain how students are actually 'training their brain' when they are going through the process of learning, practicing and applying new concepts.
