Frankford was founded in 1910 as an annex to Central High School. Around 1927, the Frankford Radio Club, a long-running amateur radio club, was founded at the school. This competitive radio club continues to this day; Alburtis, Pennsylvania is the current home of the club.
In the fall of 2018, Frankford High School launched the Frankford High School Aviation Academy, a unique program to provide a career path for the graduates of the program. Since the launch of the aviation program, Hospitality and Solar Panel CTE courses have been added as well.
The current Principal is Michael J. Calderone.
