Ridge View welcomes Mr. Randal Franklin, a first year CATE department. He will be teaching Digital Art and Information Technology courses. Immediately after high school, he spent a few years touring with a metal band while attending Midlands Tech and worked as a freelance graphic designer. He was a full-time professional graphic designer for 7 years and worked in both marketing and print. Some of the companies he published work for include Coca Cola, Pepsi, State Farm, Sonic Drive-In, Planet Fitness, USC, Clemson, and SC Parks and Recreation, so he comes with an impressive background in digital art. He current lives in West Columbia with his college sweetheart Sheena. They have two beautiful daughters -- Norah, who is 2.5 years old, and Natalie, who is 6 months old. He is excited to begin his teaching career at Ridge View and can't wait to meet my students.
Welcome to Ridge View, Mr. Franklin
