🏆YEAR IN REVIEW: CHAMPS IN CLASS AND COMPETITION🏆

In 2025, Martin County School District student-athletes showed that excellence extends far beyond game day.

Our high schools earned top marks in the FHSAA Overall Academic Team rankings. South Fork High School finished No. 1 in Class 5A for the 3️⃣rd consecutive year!! Jensen Beach High School placed 3rd and Martin County High School tied for 10th in their respective classifications.

These honors reflect the hard work of students who balance athletics and academics, along with the coaches and teams who support them every step of the way.

🇺🇸RISING TO THE CHALLENGE🇺🇸

JROTC cadets from South Fork High School, Martin County High School, and Jensen Beach High School recently represented the Martin County School District at Congressman Brian Mast’s Annual Service Academy Fitness Assessment.

Competing alongside service academy applicants, our students completed a series of demanding physical assessments led by Army and Marine Corps personnel—demonstrating the focus, discipline, and determination they develop in their JROTC programs.

We’re proud of every cadet who stepped up, pushed themselves, and represented their schools with confidence, resiliency, and pride. Well done, cadets! 👏 🇺🇸
