Superintendent
Dear Martin County Students, Families, Employees, and Community Members -
As the 2025-2026 school year gets underway, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the privilege of continuing to serve as your superintendent—an honor I do not take lightly. Since stepping into this role in April 2023, I have been continuously inspired by the passion and heart of our Martin County School District learning community. The commitment our faculty and staff demonstrate each day to supporting students and positioning them to reach their full potential is what makes Martin County such a special place.
My goal for this year is to continue building upon the initiatives outlined in our five-year strategic plan, a shared vision shaped by the voices of students, families, staff, and community partners. This roadmap provides a pathway to the future of our district and keeps us focused on what matters most – doing what is best for kids. We must continue to challenge ourselves to think strategically, innovate, take meaningful action, and keep students at the center of every decision that we make.
Our school system is committed to providing every child with a learning environment that allows them to discover and develop their inherent genius. Whether it be academics, athletics, the arts, or another cherished hobby or skill, we know every student can succeed when supported by great teachers, bus drivers, food and nutrition personnel, support staff, administrators and more. That’s why we’re focused on equipping our workforce with the tools, training, and support they need to be their professional best. Leadership, collaboration, and accountability guide our efforts, and I’m proud of the progress we’ve made and will continue to make in the future.
However, it doesn’t stop there. Education is a team effort, and students thrive when families, community members, business partners and local leaders work together in unison. Your support truly makes a difference, and I encourage you to stay as involved as we continue building the educational system our students deserve. Together, we are building a learning community that reflects the very best of Martin County, and one that others across the state and nation will continue to look to as a model of excellence.
Thank you for your continued trust, support, and belief in the power of public education. It is an honor and privilege to serve our students, staff, families and schools.
In Partnership,
Michael Maine
Superintendent of Schools
