2015-2016 Annual Report Franklinton Preparatory Academy

Preparation for Life College • Careers • Trade Schools • Military Franklinton Preparatory Academy Preparation for Life Marty Griffith Founder and Principal Dear FPA Friends, Families and Supporters: On May 22, 2016, in front of 250 friends, family members and supporters, and the entire FPA faculty and student body, I was honored to award High School Diplomas to 20 Franklinton Preparatory Academy graduates. For a school principal, there is no better moment than this. My fondest memory from last year’s graduation occurred spontaneously. As I was speaking from behind the podium, it occurred to me that though the FPA graduates and the FPA teachers were sitting in the same first two rows, there was an aisle between them. This seemed strange to me since I am used to seeing our teachers and students together. In the middle of my remarks, I stopped and asked students and staff to cross the aisle and thank and congratulate one another for our work together over the past few years. For the next 10 minutes, in front of the entire auditorium, FPA graduates, teachers and staff shook hands, hugged, cried, laughed, snapped endless ‘selfies’ and generally enjoyed each other’s company. It is a memory that will last a lifetime.

To understand why this moment at last year’s Graduation was so moving to me is to understand the essence of our school community. All of us at FPA – the students, the staff, the faculty and the administration – are invested in each other. We believe in each other and we learn from each other. While the adults may know more about science and math, our students teach us about acceptance, tolerance, kindness and forgiveness. Among our students and staff, there exists mutual and genuine respect for each other and for the journeys we have traveled and those we are currently on. Working together, we collectively balance our lives in ways that help prepare us for the next challenge. Often, the next challenge has nothing to do with school and instead occurs at home, or on the way to school or sometimes in our own heads and hearts. At FPA, no one is perfect; we are all works in progress. We don’t judge, instead we ask how we can help. This is why FPA truly is an oasis for all members of our learning community and why serving as FPA’s principal is so rewarding.

Our success is due in part due to the open-armed welcome we continue to receive from the Franklinton Neighborhood, the Franklinton businesses and, of course, the people who call Franklinton home. As FPA has grown and flourished over the years, our roots in Franklinton have grown deeper, stronger and more diverse. We are Franklinton’s High School of Choice and we are proud to be members of this vibrant community.

If you believe, as we do, that all young people deserve a safe, caring and academically challenging school, then FPA is for you. If you believe, as we do, that all young people are capable of amazing academic and personal growth, then FPA is for you. If you believe, as we do, the traditional “one size fits all” school-model is a thing of the past, then come experience how FPA tailors its teaching and learning to individual students. If you know that art, music and movement classes are essential to a comprehensive education, then FPA is for you. I founded FPA because I knew that we could develop a school where young people would thrive, take control of their academic journeys and be prepared to succeed in high school and beyond. We are doing that, every day, at FPA. Come and join us.

Martin S. Griffith Founder and Principal

In addition to core academic skills, FPA students will successfully demonstrate a range of employability skill sets as their gateway to career experiences.
