An exciting announcement from the family of FHS Warrior, Cyprianni Stewart: "Cyprianni Stewart, a Franklin Warrior and one of the first from the initial class of the flight program at Franklin, graduated from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University on 5/5/2025. His graduation comes 1 year early with his BS in Aeronautical Science degree and 2 years early with all his FAA instrument ratings certifications as a multi-engine commercial pilot and flight instructor ratings. In addition to the required 5 required flight certifications, he obtained 2 additional certifications to add to his credentials. Cyprianni begins his career in the aviation industry as a pilot. He is but one example of the exceptional young people in our village and a True Warrior for Life!!...An example of your Warrior for Life Legacy and the first to come out of your flight program at FHS. He even taught the English teacher who is currently manning the flight program at Franklin how to fly this past summer (...full circle). As parents we work hard and we do the best we can for our children to get their footing to start their lives and when I reflect back on all our children I can’t help but smile and beam with pride..... I am blessed and grateful to the Franklin School District and to all who were a part of that journey with us...thank you for being a part of his village... Today is Cyprianni’s moment to shine. Please keep him and his journey in your prayers..." Congratulations Cyprianni!!
