MARTIN COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT

🍎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

🩺🏀SPORTS PHYSICALS🏐🩺 South Florida Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine is hosting a Back-to-School Sports Physical event TODAY, August 13, from 5 p.m. - 7 p.m. for middle school students! If your student plans to participate in athletics during the 2026-2027 school year, this event offers an opportunity to complete their required sports physical. Proceeds will benefit participating schools' athletic departments. Please note: EKG testing will not be available at this event. #ALLINMartin👊

🍎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. And plenty of “okay, NOW it feels real” moments. 👀 We also got to celebrate the generosity of Terra Lago and the Garcia Foundation, who donated backpacks and school supplies to help students at Warfield Elementary School start the year ready to learn. 🎒❤️🖤 And now... there’s only one thing left. Monday, we're ready for you! 🎉 #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolPROUD #MartinMeansMore

🚨THANK YOU, SROS!🚨 Our School Resource Officers were back in training today, getting ready for another school year of protecting our campuses, cheering on our students, and building meaningful relationships. A big thank you to the Martin County Sheriff's Office and our incredible SROs. We are grateful for your dedication and service to our students, staff, and community! #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolPROUD

🍎📺MCSD IN THE SPOTLIGHT📺🍎 The 2026-2027 school year is almost here, and we're excited to see the incredible work happening across the Martin County School District featured on air! Superintendent Michael Maine recently sat down with our local media partners to discuss what's ahead—from our back-to-back A-ratings and expanded Career & Technical Education opportunities to Martin County Flexible Education and the many ways we're providing families with more choice. You'll also see stories highlighting our schools, students, educators, and community partners throughout the coming days. Because Martin Means More isn't just something we say—it's the commitment to excellence you'll see in every story. Stay tuned! 🎉 #ALLINMartin👊 #MartinMeansMore #PublicSchoolPROUD

🌟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
