๐จ๐พ New Bulldog Alert! Welcome Ana Ferguson to our ELL department! Ms. Ferguson says "As a younger person, I used to help my mother, a teacher, with tasks that kept her working late into the night. As computers emerged, I learned to love computer programs and find ways to do tedious tasks faster and more accurately whether for educational or business areas. My love for computers transferred to my daughter, who will be getting her degree in Computer Science next year.
Iโm originally from Ponce, Puerto Rico, and now live in Jupiter. I have an associateโs degree in business administration. I am excited to be part of SFHS to help teachers and be able to help students prepare for the future workforce." We are excited to have you! ๐พ

COMING SOON TO BULLDOG NATION ๐ง๐พ
Demolition of the original South Fork High School gymnasium is underway, a cornerstone of the campus since 1983.
As we bid farewell, we look ahead to the future-- the new state-of-the-art sports facility is nearing completion!
Thanks to the Martin County taxpayers for generously voting to approve a half-cent sales tax increase in November 2018, the Martin County School District was able to fund this new gym and other capital projects throughout the District.
We look forward to unveiling a surprise in the new facility incorporating a piece of history. Stay tuned Bulldog Nation!
