๐Ÿ†YEAR IN REVIEW: CHAMPS IN CLASS AND COMPETITION๐Ÿ†

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 3๏ธโƒฃrd 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.
