History

The school was established in 2007,^[5] as a consolidation of schools in Apalachicola, Carrabelle, and Eastpoint. The Florida Legislature established a special facilities fund for school districts trying to build new schools but which do not have access to the necessary funds; this fund was used to build Franklin County School.^[2]

The school opened in 2008.^[6]

Transportation

In 2007 the district leadership anticipated that most students would travel to and from the school on a school bus, a characteristic which meant students who previously traveled to the pre-consolidation schools on bicycles or other means would no longer do so.^[2]

Athletics

The school's teams compete as the Seahawks.^[7]
