South Fork High School

🎉🐾 South Fork High School Debate Team Shines at FCDI Southeast Tournament! 🐾🎉 On Saturday, November 9th, our talented Bulldogs made us proud at the FCDI Southeast Tournament! 🏆 👏 Bianca Bernhard took 1st place in Legislative Debate 👏 Aria Kaul took 1st place in Extemporaneous Debate We are so proud of these two outstanding sophomores for their hard work and dedication! 💖

⭐️STUDENT SERVICE SPOTLIGHT⭐️ South Fork High School senior Hollon Trent went above and beyond to give back to her community! Hollon, an International Baccalaureate student, organized a festival benefiting the The Hope Center for Autism, a school close to her heart since she began volunteering there in middle school. The event was a huge success– she scheduled food trucks, sensory activities, provided a variety of vendors, and found generous sponsors. Around 200 children and families attended, including Congressman Brian Mast. Hollon raised an impressive $12,000, with every bit of the profit going directly to the Center. What an incredible way to go #ALLINMartin! #IgniteTogetherMCSD🔥

The District continues to carefully monitor local weather conditions alongside our partners at the Martin County Emergency Management Agency.
