🎶🎤FLORIDA'S FINEST MUSICIANS🎶🎤 The Martin County School District was well-represented at the Florida Music Education Association's 2022-2023 All-State Conference. Being selected to perform at this level is a tremendous honor for our student musicians - they perform select pieces of music before a panel of judges during the Conference. In some cases, they also have to take a 50-question musical theory test. Students prepare for more than a year to perform. Congratulations and a well-deserved round of applause go out to the following scholar musicians: Dr. David L. Anderson Middle School Chorus - Gina Lavere, Music Teacher 🎤 Myla Bajis (Treble Choir) 🎤 Gia Morello (Treble Choir) 🎤 Sierra Favors (Treble Choir) 🎤 Emilio Perez (Treble Choir) Hidden Oaks Middle School Chorus - Kerry Rocks, Music Teacher 🎤 Nina Goyal (Treble Chorus) Jensen Beach High School - Jimmy Paul, Music Teacher 🎤 Logan Jordan (Men's Choir) 🎤 Charles Zoetmulder (Men's Choir) 🎤 Anna Vitale (Concert Chorus) Martin County High School Band - Emily Cleghorn, Music Teacher 🎶 Audrey Mila (Honor Band) Martin County High School Chorus- Amy James, Music Teacher 🎤 Allyson Andaluz (Reading Chorus) 🎤 Elliott Steward (Reading Chorus) 🎤 Abigail Bean (Concert Chorus) 🎤 Brandon Bergeman (Concert Chorus) 🎤 Josephine Butera (Concert Chorus) 🎤 Mallory Goddard (Concert Chorus) 🎤 Mariel Scher (Concert Chorus) South Fork High School Chorus - Reva Satchell, Music Teacher 🎤 Logan Jacobs (Tenor 1 Tenor 2 Bass 1 Bass 2 Choir) #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolProud

🎼SIMPLY SUPERIOR🎼 During Tuesday's School Board meeting, Mr. John Egan of Dr. David L. Anderson Middle School was recognized for earning the Florida Bandmasters Association's 2023 Linda Mann Five-Year Superior Award. This award is presented to middle school band directors whose bands earn Superior ratings at the FBA District Concert Music Performance Assessment for five (5) consecutive years. An interesting fact about this particular award is that progress was paused in 2021 during Florida's return to on-campus learning during the pandemic. With that in mind, it took 6 years for Mr. Egan to earn the award, all while maintaining the quality of the AMS music program during a time of global uncertainty. Mr. Egan is the first Martin County School District to earn the award since 2005. Congratulations! #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolProud

📚CELEBRATING OUR HISTORY📚 As our celebration of #BlackHistoryMonth continues, we spotlight two brothers who were educational pioneers in Martin County, Charles E. and Robert G. Murray. Charles Murray founded the Stuart Training School in 1926 - this was the county's first high school for Black students. He remained principal until 1939 when his brother, Robert, took over. Stuart Training School eventually became Spectrum Academy and Murray Middle School was named after the brothers. #ALLINMartin👊
