Purple Star Welcome!

Welcome to Franklin Junior High School!

Welcome to Franklin Junior High School

We are glad that you will be joining our amazing group of students, and as a Purple Star student (military connected), we greatly appreciate the sacrifices that you and your family have made.

First, we want you to know that we are here for you. There is a large group of students in this school who are just like you. They have a mom, dad, sibling, or grandparent who was or is currently in the military, and they know what it is like to be a part of this special group.

Secondly, we would like to invite you to be part of our amazing group. We meet every other Thursday in my room (2119). We work together on ideas and activities that are meant to reach out to other students like ourselves, and to the veterans in our community.

We are here to help you succeed, and want to help you in any way we can. Please ask your teachers for assistance. You can stop by my room (2119) at any time if you need something or have any questions.

We are glad you are here. You got this!!

Your Purple Star Group Leader,

Mr. Medaugh

About Mr. Medaugh

As the son of an Air Force veteran, brother of a Marine, and father of a current Navy sailor, I know firsthand the unique challenges and rewards that come with growing up in a military family. Although I did not have to navigate frequent transitions, I understand the true meaning of service and sacrifice that my parents, and now myself, have made because of the military. That deeply personal connection is what drives my commitment as the leader of our school's Purple Star student group. Our mission is to create a welcoming, supportive, and understanding community for military-connected students, ensuring that every peer who walks through our doors feels recognized, valued, and right at home. Whether you are a military kid looking for a community that "gets it" or an ally wanting to show your support, I am honored to lead this group and look forward to building a strong network together.
