MARTIN COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT

🏆⚾GRACIOUS SPORTSMANSHIP🏆⚾ We need to brag on Jensen Beach High School's Varsity Baseball team for a moment. The Falcons competed in the Florida High School Athletic Association's Class 4A state championship in Fort Myers earlier this week. While they came up just short of earning a state title, losing 8-7 in extra innings, their season was nothing short of inspirational. 💥These student-athletes left Fort Myers as Class 4A state runners-up AND as the state's Academic Champion (highest team GPA) for baseball this school year! 💥 To top it all off, proud Principal Lori Vogel submitted this photo of Cade Crews (#3) congratulating members of Island Coast High School's baseball team moments after they won the state championship. FALCON PROUD is an understatement. #ALLINMartin👊

Our hearts remain with Uvalde. 💔

📢 MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD📢 In 2018, voters approved a half-mill property tax referendum to fund critical operational needs throughout the Martin County School District. A portion of the funding was used to enhance academic offerings, including the AVID program, a comprehensive curriculum designed to close opportunity gaps for all children while preparing them for post-secondary success. Now, the School Board would like to know which types of initiatives you think should be implemented or continued if the millage renewal is approved by voters in August 2022.
