Franklin Senior High School, also known as the Alva Neal Community Building, is a historic high school located at Franklin, Johnson County, Indiana. It was built in 1938, and is a three-story, L-shaped, red brick building with some Italian Renaissance style embellishments. Its construction was partially funded by a grant from the Public Works Administration. It was originally connected to an older school building by a covered walkway. The building ceased use as a high school in 1960.[2]: 3 

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.[1]
