"On behalf of our School Board and entire faculty and staff, I want to congratulate our students for their tremendous accomplishments," Superintendent John D. Millay said. "Their perfect mastery of content in each of the assessed subject areas is to be commended. Moreover, achieving these results during a year that presented many pandemic-related challenges is nothing short of remarkable. It is our collective hope that they will continue to build upon this success as they progress as learners in the Martin County School District."
