Greetings, Martin County High School families. This is Mr. Fabrizio writing to share some important information with you about our upcoming Homecoming festivities.
Parents, I would like to thank you for your support as we navigated the threats made against our school and the subsequent arrest of two minors this morning. We understand and empathize with the fact that these events were likely extremely troubling for your student and your family, as they were for all of our faculty and staff. I want to assure you that, in partnership with the Martin County Sheriff’s Office, we remain committed to safety. Martin County High School is an extremely safe campus and will remain that way because of the support and commitment of our students, employees, families and partners in law enforcement.
With that being said, I want to advise you that all Homecoming activities will proceed as planned. Although we remain extremely confident that the Martin County Sheriff’s Office has fully addressed any potential threats, we will continue to have increased law enforcement present throughout our parade, pep rally (which will be held during the school day tomorrow) , Homecoming game and dance out of an abundance of caution. We want all of our students to be able to enjoy the activities they have looked forward to and helped to plan, and we appreciate the Martin County Sheriff’s Office for their continued partnership in ensuring the safety of our students and employees.
Please continue to speak with your child about the importance of remaining alert, reporting suspicious activity they become aware of and making good decisions. Our school and the Martin County School District have zero tolerance for threats of any nature – individuals who make these extremely poor and illegal decisions will face severe school-based consequences and criminal charges. We are looking forward to positive and safe Homecoming activities as we celebrate Havana Nights! Please do not hesitate to contact our school with any questions you may have. Thank you for your continued support of Martin County High School.
Congratulations to Deb Arnold, our MCHS 21-22 School Related Employee of the Year! Deb, a long time ESE Para-Professional, has consistently performed all of her duties at the highest level! Deb cares so much about the kids and provides an incredible level of support!

Good morning, Martin County High School School families. This is Mr. Fabrizio writing to make you aware of some important information related to school safety.
Late last evening, we were made aware of written threats against our school that were posted on Snapchat. The Martin County Sheriff’s Office immediately began investigating the written threats and identified two suspects who have since been arrested- one minor for making the written threats and another minor for possession of a loaded firearm that was provided to the first minor. Neither child attends our school. The investigation and arrests were completed early this morning- we have since been given the go ahead to release this information to our families, which is why I am contacting you at this time.
Parents – please continue to speak with your students about the role we all share in protecting the safety and security of our campus. The “see something, say something” rule played a critical role in this particular case, as being made aware of these horrific and extremely troubling social media postings allowed law enforcement to immediately investigate the threat and quickly make arrests. Please encourage your child to always report any suspicious activity they see or hear of to a teacher, administrator, our School Resource Officer or another trusted adult on campus. Students and members of the community may also report tips via our Martin County School District app or website at www.martinschools.org. These tips are received and investigated by District safety staff and law enforcement 24/7, and students may remain anonymous when reporting information if they would like.
The safety and security of our students and staff remain our top priorities. We appreciate the Martin County Sheriff’s Office for taking swift action last evening and overnight to investigate this incident and make the necessary arrests. We will also have an increased law enforcement presence on campus out of an abundance of caution. Please do not be alarmed by this as you are dropping off your student or passing by our campus- this action, which again is being taken out of an abundance of caution, is part of our school district’s continued partnership with the Martin County Sheriff’s to ensure the safety of our students and staff.
Please do not hesitate to contact the main office of our school with any questions you have. Thank you for your continued support and for partnering with us for your child’s education.
