Welcome to Power!

Welcome Families and Friends,

I hope you are exploring our website to see all of the wonderful academic opportunities our Benjamin Franklin Charter School program has to offer.  

My name is Paula Jensen, and I am proud to be the principal of our Power campus.  I have been in education for many, many years and I have found a home here at this welcoming, community school.  The families of Benjamin Franklin hold education to a high degree and want their child to experience academic success in a place that is inspiring, safe and most importantly teaches strong virtues.  

As the principal, I believe in teaching and ensuring all the teachers and staff demonstrate the BFCS virtues daily.  I was a teacher in 1st - 8th grades for eighteen years and have been in administrative roles for the past ten years.   I have seen the importance of ensuring each and every child has the academic skills needed to be happy, secure and accepted in a world that is forever changing.  

Personally, I have a husband of 37 years, two grown children and five grandchildren.  I live in Chandler on a ranch with an abundance of animals.  I love to bring children and animals together.  The honesty of animals and the innocence of children is a match that is magical.  

I hope you are already a Panther or are seriously considering enrolling in our program.  We would be glad to answer any questions and to give you a tour of our newly renovated building.  We would welcome the opportunity to share the dynamics that make the Benjamin Franklin program an A-rated school by the AZ Department of Education and a pillar in the community for 25 years.  

It is Amazing to Be - Franklin Panthers!!!
