Eighth Grade Academics
Eighth grade students in Franklin County who are not enrolled in New Tech @ Gereau are divided into two teams: Eagles and Franklins. Students on the Eagles team spend their fall semester at TGC and spring semester at BFMS, while students on the Franklins team spend their fall semester at BFMS and spring semester at TGC.
During their semester at TGC, students on the Eagles and Franklins teams are enrolled in
English, Math, Science, and one elective. While at BFMS, students are enrolled in English, Math, Civics, and one elective. Band and choir courses are held at BFMS, so TGC students who choose to take these courses during their semester at TGC will be transported to BFMS for their last class of the day.
All eighth grade students are eligible to participate in the clubs, groups, and athletic programs based at BFMS and will be transported to BFMS at the end of the day for those activities with permission from a parent or guardian.
