ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION & OUTDOOR CLUB
The Franklin High School Environmental Science & Outdoor (ECO) Club has one of the largest membership of all co-curricular offerings at Franklin High School. The club is flexible in its design and diverse in its opportunities, which allows for excitement and participation from just about all FHS students, regardless of how busy they might be with other commitments. The club's framework focuses on 3 areas to help instill a sense of appreciation for the outdoors for its members ... Environmental service, educational, and recreational opportunities. We operate all year and have many varying adventures throughout the seasons. Come join us on our journey!
