Mr. Stephané Joyet was kind enough to open the doors of his Period 1 & 2 classroom for the Superintendent. The visitors observed two rotations, interacted with the students, and asked Mr. Joyet about the program.

Congratulations and thanks to Franklin HS, Principal Luis Lopez, Mr. Joyet, and his students for a wonderful visit!
