🎶❤️ALWAYS IN OUR HEARTS❤️🎶 Our thoughts and hearts go to the family, friends, and generations of Martin County students who had the privilege of knowing Mr. Ron Corbin. A true Martin County gem, for 34 years, Mr. Corbin led OPUS, Martin County High School’s choir, retiring in 2014 after dedicating his career to helping students find their voices and discover the joy of music. But his presence in our schools reached far beyond the music room. He was a devoted Tiger, volunteering as a scorekeeper for basketball and volleyball and traveling across the state to support Martin County High School athletics. Mr. Corbin gave so much of his life to our students, our schools and our community. His impact cannot be measured in years or accolades—it lives on in the countless students he encouraged, the music he helped create and the memories shared by those who knew him. We are deeply grateful for the life he shared with Martin County, and we will carry his memory with us, forever in our hearts. Once a Tiger, always a Tiger. #ALLINMartin👊

ELEMENTARY CURRICULUM NIGHTS: CHECK ✅ Our elementary schools welcomed families over the past two nights for a closer look at the classrooms, teachers and learning that show why Martin Means More in our A-rated District. These are the connections that help make a great school experience even stronger. Middle and high school families, you’re next! #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolPROUD #MartinMeansMore

💡BUILDING CURIOUS THINKERS💡

We're only a week and a half into the new school year, and students across our back-to-back A-rated District are already fully engaged in exchanging strategies, explaining how they reached an answer, and discovering that there can be more than one path to a solution.

Remember what this is called?? Building Thinking Classrooms! It’s a classroom strategy that is more than about solving problems—it’s building confidence, perseverance and the ability to think through challenges from different perspectives.

🩺❤️PREPARING THE NEXT GENERATION❤️🩺

That’s Martin Means More. Educators who help students see what’s possible and prepare them for what comes next.

🍎DAY TWO: AND WE’RE JUST GETTING STARTED!🍎 Two days in, and there’s already a lot to be proud of across the Martin County School District. Superintendent Michael Maine and District leaders (with a surprise guest, School Board Vice Chair Dr. Brian Moriarty!) spent the day visiting schools—seeing beautiful campuses, taking in the upgrades made over the summer, connecting with the people who make our schools exceptional, and most importantly, watching students settle in and get right to work. Martin Means More because of the people who show up every day, the environments we create for students and the opportunities we’re able to provide so they can succeed. Two days down. A whole year ahead. And we’re ready for it. 💪🎉 #ALLINMartin👊 #MartinMeansMore #PublicSchoolPROUD

🍎DAY ONE THROUGH OUR LENS🍎 A look back at Day One as we kick off Day Two. 🎉 New classrooms. New teachers. Old friends. Big smiles. And plenty of moments that remind us why Martin Means More. Being an A-rated district is about more than grades. It’s about the people, opportunities and experiences that make an education in the Martin County School District different. #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolPROUD #MartinMeansMore

Kinda chic to be part of the Martin County School District. ✨😉

We look forward to welcoming our students back for another A-rated year tomorrow!

Have those backpacks packed, get plenty of sleep and set those alarms (maybe even 5 😆).

🍎NEXT STOP: DAY ONE🍎 Today was the final big stop before Day 1, with Meet the Teacher and 6th & 9th Grade Orientation happening across the Martin County School District! New classrooms. New teachers. New schedules. Lots of excited students and families.

Monday, we're ready for you! 🎉 #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolPROUD #MartinMeansMore

🌟AN A-RATED CELEBRATION🌟 There was something extra special about this year's welcome back at South Fork High School. Before diving into a new school year, the Bulldogs took time to celebrate a big win—earning the school's first A rating since 2015! It was a morning filled with gratitude, pride, great food, and excitement for what's ahead. What a way to kick off the year! Be More. Be A Bulldog.🐾 #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolPROUD #MartinMeansMore
