Franklin Special District (FSD) is proud to announce that District Nurse Amy Fisher, R.N., has been selected as the Tennessee School Nurses Association’s School Nurse Administrator of the Year. Fisher received the prestigious honor at the association’s annual statewide conference on November 11.

This award recognizes exemplary school health leaders who demonstrate dedication, advocacy, and administrative excellence, positively impacting the well-being of students and school communities.
