Joe Franzen is the Fifth Day leader and educator at Fern Creek High School in Louisville, KY. Originally from Lederach, PA, he has brought his experience from the farm, construction crew, woods and urban homestead into local classrooms to help question traditional education and design interdisciplinary curricula. After an audit four years ago, FCHS recruited Franzen to help rebuild the school. Over that time, Franzen and his colleagues have built a Food Studies Program that challenges our food reality while teaching state and national standards.
