From Mr. Reed
Grateful to serve Franklin Road families
I am incredibly grateful and excited for the opportunity to write my first letter to you as the Head of School. As I look at my journey to Franklin Road Christian School, I thank Christ Jesus our Lord for calling me into ministry and allowing me to serve alongside our outstanding faculty, staff, families, and students.
As we look toward the future of our school, our desire is to provide a learning environment where we cultivate a Christ-centered focus. We want our students to know God, increase in wisdom, love their families, and joyfully serve Christ and others.
"Our greatest desire is that every student develops an authentic faith that truly impacts all areas of their life."
Our faculty and staff play an essential role in that mission, and I am committed to supporting and equipping them as they continue to develop professionally and spiritually.
Strong schools are built with strong partnerships. Parents are the God-given primary influence in a child's life, and it is our desire to come alongside and support you through open communication, mutual trust, and cooperation with our mission.
Academically, we will continue to strengthen our programs, invest in teacher growth, and ensure students receive a high-quality education. Along with academics, we will continue to invest in athletics, fine arts, student leadership, and other areas that help produce well-rounded Christian young people.
