Mark Franklin

Mark Franklin taught English at Wahconah Regional High School for 38 years and now teaches at MCLA. Using his gift of music, Mark encouraged students to perform at the high school’s Music Cafe, often accompanying them on guitar, recognizing this as a way for students to build confidence. Mark  has opened his Facebook page to the community every Sunday night to make music, and those weekly events are going strong and are a welcome escape for students, friends and neighbors. Mark also never declines a music request, performing at Berkshire health facilities and singing in the choir at Pittsfield’s Temple Anshe Amunim.
