🎉CELEBRATING SCHOOL COUNSELORS🎉
In honor of National School Counseling Week, Martin County School District staff and students want to thank all the school counselors in the District!
Counselors do it all, from mental health and teaching Character Counts, to assisting students with their schedules and setting them up for life after high school...without school counselors, we don't have academic success!
Thank you, school counselors, for everything you do for students and staff.

📚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.
