A MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
At Franklin STEAM Academy, we create connections in our middle school's project-based approach to education where technology-rich learning integrates all subjects, and where today's imagination and grit solve real-world issues. We believe in meeting students where they are, while providing rigorous instruction, and supports where needed. Franklin embraces and celebrates diversity while focusing on social equity and academic excellence for all. We have a strong school family spirit and “Knight Pride” is exuded in everything we do! - Dave Mast

The primary mission of Franklin STEAM Academy is to support the larger mission of the Unit #4 School District: “The mission of the Champaign Unit 4 School District is to positively transform learning and life outcomes for students through educational justice, equity, and excellence.” Franklin supports the development of academic excellence, developmental responsiveness and social equity for all students. Academic excellence expands upon the skills and knowledge successfully attained in the education experience with the goal of preparing students for success in and beyond high school.

Consideration of both excellence and equity will guide decision-making in regard to what will be taught as our students progress towards their next academic and life experience. Franklin STEAM Academy is dedicated to providing our students with an exceptional learning environment that teaches and nurtures the whole student.
