The historic Franklin School, designed by Jake Knapp, was constructed in 1926 and became a focal of the FQ Story neighborhood. The school was closed in 1993 and had been sitting vacant. The only visitors were gangs, the only new paint graffiti. In 2005 the Phoenix Union High School District and Mayor Phil Gordon began studying the feasibility of rehabilitating the school complex for a unique use. Hence was born the idea of the Franklin Police & Fire High School, the first school of its kind in the nation. Using a combination of City of Phoenix Historic Preservation Bond Funds, an Arizona Heritage Fund Grant, and District funds the proposed rehabilitation project became a reality. The architects were Hunt & Caraway, Ltd. of Glendale. [Photo source: Hunt & Caraway Architects.]
