 D1 State Championship (Pantherbook image)

"Last Sunday, the FHS Boys Basketball team beat Newton North 55-52 at the Tsongas Center and became the Division 1 state champions. 

Despite losing a talented senior class, the boys came back stronger than ever. After a season with only one loss and the number one seed, the team looked to redeem their loss in the finals in 2024, and they delivered. To get to the championship this year, the team won in a tough game against Central Catholic 52-44. "

Pantherbook: "Choosing electives at FHS"

"Many of you may feel uncertain as the time approaches to select your electives for next year. For underclassmen, the future might seem distant, while upperclassmen may be focused on challenging themselves with new opportunities. Regardless of where you stand, the decision can feel overwhelming. In this article, I break things down to help make the process a little easier, so that you can make an informed choice for your academic journey.

Firstly, while many already know this, there is an art requirement at FHS where you must take 2 semesters of an art class. While this can include many courses such as graphic design, ensembles, and 3D modeling there is one that seems to stick out in the crowd known to be a creative, dynamic, and engaging class filled with new material to learn: Video Production One and Two. This two-part course will take you on an adventure from behind the scenes of your favorite films to the cinematic acting that many are interested in."

Pantherbook: Student Spotlight - Sarah Dumas

"Meet Sarah Dumas, an actor-student-athlete in her senior year at FHS. 

Sarah is most well known for being a runner, hurdler, and thrower on the indoor and outdoor track teams. She “initially started running to stay in shape for soccer” but this exercise quickly transformed into a love for the sport. Sarah loves “competing and running for her team” and is very grateful to her teammates and coaches who helped her along the way. 

Not only does Sarah participate in track, but she is also an All-American, competing in and placing in Nationals several times. This prestigious award is given out to a limited number of athletes and Sarah enjoys the experience, noting the friends she made and the fun she had while competing. "

Pantherbook: "Then to Now – A Day in the Life of an FHS Student, 1992 vs. 2023"

"31 years ago today, students at Franklin High would be starting off their school day at 6:55 a.m. Classes spanned from 45-50 minutes where the standardized classes like math, english, science and social studies (history) took place. 

Although the four core subjects are still taught today, electives were quite different back then. Students could take classes like Home Economics where they learned to cook, typing lessons with typewriters, sewing classes, woodworking classes, graphic arts where they could make t-shirts, and automotive classes. Electives were very hands-on and students were able to learn skills that could be applied in everyday life. Many of the things the class of 1992 learned in electives would no longer be taught today, such as typing, which is now a basic skill that all students know. 

Dismissal was at 1:55 p.m. and after school, students could participate in clubs, sports, or even school council. The business club,  DECA, was popular and still is, even 31 years later. "

Pantherbook: "Jennifer O’Malley Dillon speaks with Mr. Walsh’s Class"

"Recently, Mr. Walsh’s class had the fantastic opportunity to speak via Zoom with Jennifer O’Malley Dillon, the current deputy chief of staff in the Biden administration and FHS alumnus. O’Malley Dillon talked to the class about her time at Franklin High School, her daily work, important things she has been a part of, advice she has, and of course answered a few questions.

Life as the Deputy Chief of Staff at the White House is full of bustling days filled with everything from hiring personnel to dealing with international affairs. According to O’Malley Dillon, she runs and oversees daily operations at the White House. This includes helping solve large-scale issues such as problems with Ukraine, climate change, and inflation, traveling with the president to support and plan his visits, and running the military office. Although this seems very stressful to most, O’Malley Dillon loves politics, and being right in the middle of it all seems to be where she is most at home. "

Pantherbook: Student Spotlight - The Tyler Morrill Story

Ryan Martin has a great profile of Tyler Morrill:

"You’re in the championship. With the gold medal on the line, the score is tied. As the clock winds down the few seconds it has left, your teammate zips a pass in your direction. You nail the shot as the buzzer sounds, sending everyone into a frenzy: You are a champion.

The narrative has been dreamed of and practiced by countless kids on turf fields, ice rinks, and courts around the world. For Franklin’s Tyler Morrill, the moment came to fruition last June as he was a part of the Franklin Unified Basketball Team. Morrill’s buzzer-beater in the Special Olympics final crowned Franklin the Gold medalists.

“I was so confident I was going to make that shot!” Morrill said, grinning."

Lily Eattimo, has this write up for Pantherbook: 

"Fall Sports are now officially over – Photographers Sammy Patel and Hunter Smith are preparing for Winter Sports, including basketball, hockey, and indoor track, among others. 

You may have seen Patel and Smith’s work on Franklin High’s TV’s, or your Instagram and Twitter, as they run the Creative Media Team for Franklin High School.

The Creative Media Team is a subsection of Pantherbook, focused on creating, editing and designing graphics for Franklin High School sports. Their work, including both photo and video, is distributed on the Franklin High TVs, seen throughout the school, or on their Instagram and Twitter accounts. Their work keeps the community involved with Franklin sports, including some exciting shutouts and losses."
