FRANKFORD'S ANNUAL
ALUMNI MLK DAY
Our third annual MLK Day, sponsored by Frankford High School Alumni Association's Board and orgainized by Tamiko Ward, Alumni Engagement Mgr., honoring the birthday of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, born Jan. 15, 1929. An American Civil Rights Activist and Baptist minister, he led the Civil Rights Movement from 1955 until his assassination in 1968. He advanced civil rights for people of color in the United States through the use of nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience against Jim Crow laws and other forms of legalized discrimination... (Wikipedia)
Each year, we celebrate his birthday with the Girls & Boys Basketball games played at 11 a.m & 1:00 p.m. It's a time for alumni to connect with future alumni, teachers and supportive staff.
This year, Tamiko & Terry Ward, Class of 1987, were presented with the Coach Vince Miller Alumni Award for their service to Frankford High School and the community. Congratulations!

EASTER
PREVIEW-2026!
EASTER TREES
I'm sure you can pull out an old Easter photo of you and your siblings in your Easter Sunday best, maybe posed in front of an Easter tree, decorated with colorful Easter eggs
You can trace its roots to another country entirely—Germany. There, it's known as Ostereierbaum, or Easter egg tree. It's also popular in neighboring Poland, Austria, and Hungary. If you're looking to start this tradition at home, we've provided ideas for how you can decorate your own beautiful Easter tree.
Carrying on the Easter tree decorating tradition is a unique way to celebrate the season. If you like the idea of an outdoor Easter egg tree but don't have a sapling or juvenile tree you can reach easily, consider decorating bushes or shrubs instead. You could also bring in budding branches like dogwood, cherry blossom, forsythia, or pussy willow to hang eggs from, or buy topiaries for your porch, popping a few eggs into the greenery for a burst of festiveness. Other families bring this tradition indoors and display an Easter tree in the home to celebrate the season.

Michael Capriotti
FOREVER PIONEER
From 1970 to now, when you hear the name Michael Capriotti, you'll also hear Frankford High School.
To say he made his mark, doesn't scatch the surface.
Classmates remember him as the star athlete in football (and track ) who helped Frankford win the 1969 Public Championship .
Former players still call him Coach even though he retired in 2012. And for others, he's that favorite phys ed teacher. And former colleagues remember him as the tireless teacher/coach who motivated and mentored today's successful adults.
He's Living His Best Life as a
Forever Frankford Pioneer
WELCOME COLLEGE
FRESHMAN/TECHNICAL/
TRADE STUDENTS!
It's not too early to prepare for your next graduation/program completion, whether it's a four-year/two-year college or post-grad trade school/program. Excuse me, it's not too soon to job-prepare for your next diploma/certificate.
In 2014, the Millennial and GenZ populations were called the "jobless generation. Eleven years later, the name has disappeared, but the job challenges for these generations still exist." You can turn this fact into fiction by applying a few smart tips during your first post-high school year.
FRANKFORD RE-OPENS
After two and half years, Frankford finally cut the ribbon re-opening the renovated school for the 2025-2026 school year with school board representatives and State Representative, Joe Hohenstein held August 18.
Dr. Calderone gave Frankford-Alumni.com a quick update...
-
We have reopened after extensive renovations. I shared some of the specifics with Bettyann in my portion of the newsletter. Here is one of the news stories covering the reopening.
-
No new programs this year although we will be doing multiple celebrations to commemorate our 115th Anniversary.
-
Our main goals are for our students to improve their academic achievement in English, Math and Science. Additionally we are working on increasing the percentage of our students that attend school to more than 90% of all school days. We would also love to see a big crowd at this year's Thanksgiving Day game. We had a tough start to the seasons, but we are still defending Public League Champions in Football.

How Do You Plan a Reunion?
It's been 20 years since your class moved their tassels, or perhaps it's only been four. You would love to attend your class reunion, but no one has stepped forward. So, where do you start?
