Celebrating Our FTC Seniors! 🎓

What an incredible night last week at the Franklin Technology Center Senior Awards Ceremony as we honored the hard work, dedication, and achievements of our students.

This year, our seniors have accomplished so much:

💰 Over $42,000 in scholarships earned
📜 72 CTE Certificates awarded
🎓 213 students completed one of our 17 CTE programs
🏆 Over 300 industry-recognized credentials achieved

These numbers tell a powerful story, but what matters most is what they represent. Our students are leaving FTC with real skills, real experience, and real opportunities for their future.

We are so proud of each and every one of them and can’t wait to see the impact they will make in our community and beyond.

Congratulations, FTC Class of 2026!

It was a big week at Franklin Technology Center, and we’ve got a lot to celebrate!

Last week we recognized our students at the NTHS Induction Ceremony, celebrated our seniors at the FTC Awards Ceremony, cheered on our DECA students competing at Internationals, honored Mrs. Whitaker at the Southwest Center Awards Banquet, and wrapped it all up with our FTC Senior Picnic.

Be on the lookout this week as we highlight each of these moments. We are proud of our students and staff and excited to share their accomplishments!

Don’t forget to stop by the Joplin FFA plant sale tomorrow morning!
