📆BACK-TO-SCHOOL PLANNING📆
Our 2025–2026 Instructional Calendar is available—complete with holiday breaks, early release days, and those important Emergency Makeup Days.
🟦 Holiday breaks and days off? Shaded in dark blue.
🟥 Emergency Makeup Days? Outlined in red: November 24–25 (before Thanksgiving) and May 29, 2026.
If we don’t need them, you get bonus vacation days. If we do, they become regular school days.
Either way, we’ll give you as much notice as possible.
So, before you book that mid-semester getaway, check the calendar. We love a good beach day too—but we love student success even more. 😉🤩 Attendance matters in our A-Rated District.

🌀🚧REBUILDING STRONGER🚧🌀
We’re proud to share that the Martin County School District has been awarded $500,000 in state funding to support the restoration of Murray Middle School, which was severely damaged during Hurricane Milton.
The school’s band and chorus rooms were among the hardest hit. This funding will support the rebuild of modern, safe, and well-equipped spaces where our students can grow academically and artistically—on a campus they’re proud of.
Our sincerest thanks go to Governor Ron DeSantis, the Florida Legislature, Rep. Toby Overdorf, and Sen. Gayle Harrell for making this possible.

🍎LEAVING A LEGACY🍎
After 38 years of dedicated service to the Martin County School District, 33 of them at Murray Middle School, Superintendent Michael Maine and the School Board were proud to honor Mr. William Carroll as he retires.
An icon on campus and a familiar face for generations of Lions, Mr. Carroll has been a mentor and role model to students and staff alike. His impact runs so deep that he’s had the unique honor of working alongside former students who returned to teach and lead at Murray Middle.
Thank you, Mr. Carroll, for your years of care and commitment to your students and the Lion family. We wish you the best in your next chapter!

🎉CELEBRATING ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE🎉
We're proud to shine a spotlight on Landon Kodare, who just wrapped up his 8th grade year at Murray Middle School, for representing the Martin County School District at the AGLOA Academic Games Nationals in May!
Competing against some of the top students in the country, Landon earned multiple top-three finishes in individual rounds, including a memorable tie with last year’s Equations champion, whom he went on to knock out of the playoffs! 🏆
Landon is already planning to form a high school team this fall and continue his Academic Games journey. Bulldogs, he's going to be looking for teammates! 🐾
Way to go, Landon—we’re so proud of your accomplishments!
