Benjamin Franklin High School Association

The Benjamin Franklin High School Association (BFHSA) was founded in 1982 as a non-profit corporation by parents of the students of Benjamin Franklin High School.  We are dedicated to the continued success of our students by providing funding for a wide range of activities during the school year.

All parents are members of BFHSA, as are step-parents or custodial guardians of the students attending Benjamin Franklin High School, the faculty and staff of the school, former students (alumni-members), and honorary members.  There is no "dues" payment required for membership, but we do encourage all parents to support the organization financially (as they feel able), as well as by their active involvement.

Meetings of the BFHSA are held monthly, on the 3rd Tuesday of every month (December and some summer months excluded) at 6:30pm in the Library.  Exceptions to this schedule are posted via the school's e-announcements and are updated on the school calendar.  All members (remember, that means all parents, step-parents,custodial guardians, faculty, staff, former students and honorary members are welcome and encouraged to attend all meetings.
