Students in Hidden Oaks Middle School’s leadership class learned what it truly means to lead—with integrity, service, and heart.
Throughout the 24-25 school year, guest leaders from across the community visited the class to share their experiences and insights, inspiring students to think critically about their own roles as future leaders.
Among those who spoke was Superintendent Michael Maine, who encouraged students to believe in themselves, persevere through challenges, and use their voices to make a positive impact. His visit gave students a firsthand look at leadership in action and a reminder that great leaders serve others first.
On Boss’s Day, the Martin County School District proudly recognized Superintendent Maine for leading with heart, championing student success, and guiding our A-rated District on the road to #1. Watch a video showcasing his mentorship in this leadership class:
