| A popular senior class fundraiser returned to the Franklin High School stage thanks to the efforts of Skylar Shields (seen crowning this year's MR. FHS Noah Taylor) who "begged the administration to make it happen," according to Shawn Hawke one of the senior class advisors. The Mr. FHS pageant was started in 1995 as a fun pageant-style romp where the contestants, this year ten of them, compete in a series of fun pageant-esque exercises. They opened the show with a group dance followed by each contestant modeling a different sport they chose to chat a little about. Everything from football to competitive trampolining. They then showed off their talent that ranged from lip syncing and dancing to an original guitar composition were on display. |  |
The eventual Mr. FHS, an admitted color blind individual, solved a Rubrik's Cube in under five minutes, give or take. He did this all the while adding dramatic humorous pauses and one point he had to just cool himself down with a splash of water.
The crew then donned their Sunday best to answer a question in the interview/formalwear portion of the event.
At the end of the interview Q and A a break for the audience to vote and a slideshow of "awwwww" photos of the contestants were supposed to be shown, but a tech glitch kept the "awwwww" from happening.

When all was said and done Garrett Conway was raised up as the fan favorite while Noah Taylor took home the big crown and sash for the night.
But the real winner of the night was the senior class who raised funds for their trip in the spring. And entire field of contestants turned to Shields to give credit to her for it all coming together. They presented her with a cake in appreciation.

COVID and other issues prevented the fun night from happening since 2018, but Shields brought it back and Franklin High School had a chance to celebrate their seniors while helping raise funds for their class trip, which hasn't been determined at this point.
