Franklin Classical School Crest
THE CREST
The Franklin Classical School crest is imbued with meaning and thoughtfulness. Each item has a purpose to remind us of the kind of people God has called us to be, and the kind of people we have already become in Him.
Remember what punishments befell us in this world when we ourselves did not cherish learning nor transmit it to other men.KING ALFRED The Great
