🎉CELEBRATING 100 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE🎉 Did you spot the Martin County School District banner in the Stuart #MLKDay parade? 2025 marks a century of educating all students for success in Martin County! It's time to share another MCSD alumni story: Meet Ms. Angie Gilbride, an MCSD alum shaping our legacy as Warfield Elementary School’s Assistant Principal. Her journey began at Palm City Elementary School, continued at Hidden Oaks Middle School and led to her graduation from MCHS in 1999. Angie started working at The Pinewood Elementary while attending college and now proudly leads at Warfield. She’s part of a 3-generation Tiger family—her mom graduated from MCHS, and now her own children carry on the tradition! 🐅 "One of the things that makes MCSD special is the friendships you create and continue well into adulthood," Ms. Gilbride shared. "The memories I have of cheering on Friday nights with my best friends for the Tigers Football team is something I cherish!" Share your MCSD story and be part of the celebration: https://bit.ly/4iNGDqs #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolProud #MCSD100YearsOfExcellence
