🍎LEAVING A LEGACY🍎 On Tuesday night, Superintendent Michael Maine and the Martin County School Board celebrated the career of South Fork High School's Ms. Tera Parsons. Ms. Parsons has served the Martin County School District for 32 amazing years. She is a product of MCSD, as she is an alum of Warfield Elementary School, Indiantown Middle School and South Fork High School. Being a student in the District helped point her to her dream career: teaching in the District she grew up attending. She started her career at the very first school where she began her educational journey, Warfield Elementary. Ms. Parsons put her heart and soul into teaching. "Tera is the epitome of an educational professional and, most importantly, one of the most amazing ESE teachers I’ve worked with in my lifetime," friend and colleague Julie Butler shared. Thank you, Ms. Parsons, for your passion for education and for always pitching in to help out your teammates over the last 32 years! We wish you the best in retirement! #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolProud
