Rosanne Franco a woman who has positively impacted thousands of lives.

She was s great teacher and great leader

Mrs. Franco is a great person. #teamfranco

I graduated at voc in 99. I had Mrs.Franco as a teacher. She always was nice and always right there to help me whenever l needed her. Its a shame and totally unfair what shes going through. I'm on her side #teamfranco

A great educator and asset to GNBRVTHS! Doesn't let kids slip when she's sees great potential. That's something you want in education. As a parent I expect that the teachers look for potential in my child and help them even achieve all they can be. My ex boyfriend had Mrs. Franco and although she was hard on him it helped him graduate!

She was a great marine biology teacher

Mrs. Franco was my all time favorite teacher... She fostered my love of science and I am forever greatful for that... I spent every summer taking her enrichment courses... My junior summer she was only offering a course I had already taken... Because she knew how much I craved to learn more science she allowed me to do an independent study in environmental science where she closely monitored my progress.... I was able to take my love for science into my career as a cardiac Sonographer where I do ultrasounds of the heart.... I was taught by Mrs. Franco to push myself to learn as much about each subject as my brain would take... I have brought that philosophy into my current career and because of that I am continually recognized as an outstanding cardiac Sonographer and have quickly gained the respect of the physicians who read my studies and that I work with in a daily basis.... I think of Mrs. Franco often, of all the many valuable lessons she gave me... I spent my entire senior year pregnant and she never once treated me as if I was just another "teen mom" as many other teachers had.... The September after graduation I went back to Voc to get a copy of a transcript.... I brought my young son with me.... The only teacher I reached out to see was Mrs. Franco and she was so happy to see me and hear I was going to start college... My son is now 14 and has applied to go to Voc in September of this year... He has also been gifted with the love of science... It makes me sad to think that he may never get to meet such a wonderful caring individual... Mrs. Franco shaped the lives of so many children in her years at Voc.... She deserves to be able to continue on as one of the hearts of Voc.... She exemplifies what it means to be an educator.... I am greatful to have known her for my 4 years at Voc ❤️

She was a great teacher and an inspiration to all students, not just hers.

Mrs. Franco is awesome she's hard on people because she wants to see them succeed and knows they have the potential to do so!!! She let me live with her when things were rough between me and my mother what teacher soccer coach does that for a person ! She would go and wake up this boy every morning so he wouldn't be late for school so he could graduate.. She's done so many things for students to graduate. She really truly does care. These kids don't like someone now a days they look for one thing and flip it around. It's not fair at all to her... Then you have people that just read and start bashing her it's pretty awful...

It's time for the New Bedford Voc to show that the students don't run the school. Probably one of the most true educators at that school and I would challenge anyone to find someone whp cares more about the welfare of all of the students the way Mrs. Franco does.

I personally have seen what an amazing woman Mrs. Franco is. She generously welcomed my cousin into her home after learning that my cousins living situation was less than ideal. She does not just want to educate the young people she encounters but genuinely cares about them and their well being. She wants to see her students reach their goals and will do whatever she can to help that student do so. She is not just an educator, but an amazing human being.

Mrs. Franco was one of my favorite teachers during high school. Out of all the classes I had there her class is one I remember the most. She always cared for her students. She would come in early for study sessions before tests and would always stay late if you needed help. A few years after I graduated I saw her and the first thing she asked was if GNBRVTHS had done its job and provided me with what I needed to succeed and what they could have done differently. She cared for her students even after they left and was always looking for ways to improve GNBRVTHS. I hope the students there today don't lose one of the best things to happen to that school.

I stand behind Mrs. Franco!! I was very sad to see what this escalated into... She doesn't deserve any of this!

Wonderful teacher !!! The type of educator that knows how to get through to their students.

Thanks to this wonderful woman, My days at Voke were brightened. She always said hi while passing in the halls and was always a joy walking into her class. I had her for botany and learned a lot. Her class was a lot of hands on, so with a student like me who has learning disabilities, she made learning fun and enjoyable. In the event I needed extra help, she was always willing to help me with no problem. Even to this day, I have still retained things I have learned in her class, and if you know me, that is quite an accomplishment for a teacher. Keep your head up high, Mrs. Franco, we love you and are hear for you, and THANK YOU!!!

She was one of the teachers from my time at Voc that I always liked. She was tough, but fair, but also really nice. It's really too bad that this is happening and I wish her nothing but the best. She doesn't deserve to go through anything negative like this.

With all this love and support we can all give back just how much love and respect she has shown her community, students, and staff in the past 20 years!!!
