Franklin-Simpson High School

The mission of Franklin-Simpson High School is:

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

September 26, 2025

FALL BREAK OCT 6-10

The front office will be closed during this time. If your student will be taking their permit test during this time please make sure that you pick up their school compliance form prior to these dates.

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!

Driver's Permit

Are you ready to get your Driver's Permit? Don't forget - the Commonwealth of Kentucky requires a "School Compliance Letter" that verifies the student is academically eligible to take their permit test. Parents must come by the school and see Mrs. Brown or Mrs. Davidson to obtain this letter.

FSHS Penny Wars Winners

Mrs. Brown's classroom raised the most PENNIES out of the entire school. She was able to collect $86.30!

Collectively, FSHS raised $313.31 (including our Hat Day fundraiser) for our local Backpack Program! The benefit is, Hunt Ford is matching our total, so a total of $626.62 will go to this program.

For those of you that don't know, the Backpack Program feeds our children in Simpson County on the weekends and long school breaks. It costs $160.00 for the school year to sponsor one child.

Therefore, as a school we have fed roughly four of our children which ensures they will never run out of food when they are not in school. It may not seem like a lot, but it does when you can make a difference in just four of those children's lives.

If you believe any student of ours could benefit from this program, please let me know and I will assist them.

Thank you all SO much for your participation!

Tomorrow's Leaders participated in their second visit - Agriculture Day! The students toured the Western Kentucky University Farm and one of our local dairy farms, The Robertson Farm. They had the opportunity to meet with multiple professors to learn about the different careers in Agriculture. It was a great learning experience! Stay tuned for our next visit - Arts and Humanities Day!
