Today, we pause to remember and honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001. We are forever grateful for the bravery of the first responders, service members, and countless others who answered the call that day.

As part of Krannert’s Ellnora Guitar Festival, Franklin welcomed 18-year-old guitar phenom Grace Bowers for a special panel discussion with our very own music teachers, Abby Heras, General Music & Choir, Nick Schulze, Orchestra, and Jaime Escatel, Band.

Grace, fresh off her Grand Ole Opry debut and recently named Instrumentalist of the Year at the Americana Awards, shared her journey as a professional musician at just 18 years old. Together with our teachers, she inspired students with stories of passion, perseverance, and the joy of making music.

Huge thanks to Grace, Krannert, and our Franklin music team for creating such a memorable experience!
