Franklin-Simpson High School

The mission of Franklin-Simpson High School is:

TO EMPOWER STUDENTS TO BE COLLEGE AND/OR CAREER READY.

May 21, 2026

The front office will be open for summer hours on Mondays 8-3 and Thursdays 12-3.

Checking Students Out

Any parent/guardian who comes to school to check a student out between 8:15 and 2:45 any day should simply park in the bus loop before coming in to get their student. Please DO NOT park in the handicap spaces in front of the school unless you have a handicap parking permit. Parking in a handicap spot without a permit is an automatic $250.00 fine and we don't want anyone to be cited. Thank you for your cooperation!

Parent Portal

If you aren't receiving live updates on Campus Parent Portal to see your child's grades and attendance, please download the app and log in with your username and password. If you need assistance, please email samantha.davidson@simpson.kyschools.us. This app will show you information on every child in your household in Simpson County.

If you and your child do not understand your child's grade, please contact the teacher. Most teachers are first.last@simpson.kyschools.us, but you can also find those emails in the Campus Parent Portal app.

Outside Food and Drinks:

A reminder to our families that while it is perfectly fine for students to bring their lunch to school from home; federal guidelines prohibit commercial food and drinks (McDonalds, Sonic, Subway, Pizza Hut, Frosty Freeze, etc...) from being brought into the school. We cannot accept deliveries (via parent/ guardian or from a delivery service) of commercial food or drinks for students and any orders that do come in must be sent back with the person who is making the delivery.

Student Drop off & Pick up:

Students who arrive or depart school as "car riders" should be dropped off and picked up at school via our car rider line on the "library side" of the building. Please do not drop your students off in the student parking lots or any other location other than this designated area. Only student vehicles should be in the student parking lots during the school day, including arrival and dismissal.

We appreciate your cooperation with this as it helps us make our campus more secure and safe for our students.

Transportation Changes or Alternative Pick-Up Person:

Parents and Guardians: All transportation changes or changes in person picking your student(s) up from school must be in writing. All bus notes need to be delivered to the front lobby office before 2:00 pm, and the note must contain the address where your student should be delivered. We are not permitted to take transportation changes or alternate persons picking your student up from school over the phone. All people picking up students must have and show a valid ID before we can release them. Thank you for your help with this!

Guitar & Modern Band Class 26-27

Help Us Start Something New at FSHS

Next school year, we’re launching a brand new Guitar & Modern Band class at Franklin-Simpson High School and we’re really excited about what it can become for our students.

We’re lucky to be just a short drive from Nashville, where so many musicians, songwriters, and producers are building careers every day. This class is designed to give our students a chance to start developing those same kinds of skills right here at school.

Students in this class won’t just be learning music out of a book. They’ll be:

* Playing in bands

* Learning guitar, bass, keys, and drums

* Writing their own songs

* Recording music in a classroom studio setup

Our goal is to give students a creative space where they can try things, collaborate, and maybe even discover a future they hadn’t considered before.

To make this happen, we need some help getting started.

We’re hoping to raise $10,000 to purchase the equipment needed to build the class, including instruments, amps, microphones, and recording gear. These are tools our students will use every day to learn, create, and grow.

If you’re able to give, we’d really appreciate it. And if not, sharing this with others in the community helps just as much.

This is a chance to build something meaningful for our students and we’d love for you to be a part of it.
