Franklin Academy’s Student Government Association is a group of middle school students that have either been elected or appointed around the end of the previous school year. Every member serves on a committee, such as; School Spirit & Service (SSS), Environmental Community Action (ECA), Citizenship Wellbeing (CW), Faculty/Staff Relations & Health & Safety (FSHS), and Internal/External Affairs (IE Affairs-membership motivation, PR/technology). Members enjoy planning various activities/events and turn in their favorites/most successful projects to compete at a district and state level against other middle/high schools. Once a month middle school members get to attend county/district meetings to collaborate with other middle/high school Student Governments. They have formal Robert’s Rule of Order meetings, teambuilding, and guest speakers with the main message dealing with an aspect of leadership.
