⚒️🚧BUILT ON THE TREASURE COAST🚧⚒️ Preparing students for the future means connecting them to real careers, right here on the Treasure Coast. On Friday, Martin County School District CTE students from South Fork High School, Martin County High School, and Jensen Beach High School took part in a hands-on experience at Hog Technology, an award-winning manufacturer right here in Stuart. Through interactive panels, student-led questions, and an industry tour, students explored manufacturing careers, connected with local leaders, and saw how CTE pathways lead to high-demand jobs that strengthen our local economy. This impactful experience was made possible by our career education teachers and CTE facilitators, who continue to create meaningful, career-connected learning opportunities for students. We also appreciate School Board Member Christia Li Roberts for joining students and staff to see this work in action! 📣 Enrollment is open now. Discover how MCSD schools prepare students for what’s next through real-world learning and strong community partnerships: http://bit.ly/3Z1Ny6E #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolPROUD #GetThereFL #UnstoppableSince1925

This December our JBHS National Honor Society members have been busy making a difference in our community! They started the month by making holiday cards for assisted living seniors and collected items for the holiday teacher raffle. Last Saturday, about 75 members participated in the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention Out of the Darkness Community Walk, to bring awareness & support the mission for strugglers, survivors, and those who’ve lost loved ones. Last week NHS members presented Elev8hope with holiday donations for the kids at House of Blessings. Also this month, NHS adopted 77 children from Gertrude Walden Childcare Center and delivered gifts donated by students. Our Falcons stepped up this holiday season to support and give back to our community in so many ways!
