ST. MARY PARISH — Hanson Memorial High School in Franklin is celebrating a century of shaping students and strengthening its community. Faculty and alumni say the milestone highlights both resilience and deep family ties.

“All of our alumni are just so very passionate we have generations of people who come through these doors and who graduate from Hanson,” said Development Director Anna St. Blanc.

The Catholic school opened in 1925 after Minnie Hanson Conolly donated the land and building in memory of her father, Albert Hanson, and her brother, Eddie Hanson. Today, Hanson remains closely connected to the Church of the Assumption.

On Friday, a special Mass will be followed by a community breakfast with the mayor and local officials joining alumni and families in the celebration.
