Bekah & Halle

Both students have been part of the Franklin County Schools community since kindergarten, and we are thrilled to see them step into leadership roles that reflect their dedication and school spirit.

Bekah shared her excitement about representing FCHS not only as a student board member but also as a member of the school’s dance team. Her commitment to education runs deep—her mother is an educator at Collins Lane Elementary and with the Future Forward program, and her late father was a beloved teacher at Franklin County High School until his passing in 2019. Bekah’s connection to the district and her passion for student engagement make her a valuable voice on the board.

Halle expressed her enthusiasm for bringing her experiences in the performing arts, her role as Miss WHHS, and her involvement with the WHHS dance team to the board. She is the daughter of Janie, one of our devoted speech pathologists within the district, and Greg Hunter. She has participated in several school music productions, showcasing her talent and love for the arts. Halle also provided updates on the recent Friday Night Madness event and shared her excitement for upcoming activities at Western Hills.

These outstanding young leaders embody the values of Franklin County Schools, and we look forward to the insight and energy they will bring to the board throughout the school year.
