Heard County High School is a public high school in Franklin, Georgia, United States, part of the Heard County School District. The school's mascot is the Brave.[2]

History

The school was originally known as Franklin High School when there were two high schools in the county. However, after Centralhatchee High School closed in 1954, it was renamed to Heard County High School. The school grounds originally consisted of a small music building, three classrooms, and an auditorium. However, at this time the school served ten grades and 150 students.

In the 1950s, when the district consolidated, many of Heard County High School's buildings were made of rock.

The current campus was completed in 2009, which added many electronic items such as interactive whiteboards and computer labs. The school also added an athletic complex, a new music facility, and in a later renovation, an agricultural building.
