Teacher Heather Wagner is grateful for Murray Middle School Principal Amy Laws.
"I've only been at MMS a short time, but have been extremely impressed with Mrs. Laws and assistant principals Mrs. DeJames and Mr. Orozco," Ms. Wagner shares. "I see them involved all over the school. They are in the halls, the cafeteria and the classrooms. The students know who they are and they love them. I also feel as if I am appreciated. When I need help, they are quick to help. The team of principals at MMS is amazing."

"Last night, Hidden Oaks Middle School put on a zombie musical that was absolutely phenomenal," she shared. "One of the best and funny parts was having Dr. Jones participate in the musical! He was such a good sport, did an amazing job and the best was, he had fun with his students. It was so nice to see this and his smiling face around campus.

Parent Janie DeTray is grateful for South Fork High School Principal Jay Blavatt.
"When you have a child with 'extra' needs and there are three excellent high schools to choose from in Martin County, where do you go?" Ms. DeTray asks. "We attended all three virtual freshman orientations and as soon as South Fork's ESE/IEP portion of the call was complete, our decision was made. Our son was fully onboard after listening to the orientation along with learning that South Fork had a Digital/TV Production Program. My son's dad was joking with him before school started and challenged him to try and make it all four years without meeting the principal. Well, that didn't happen. The amazing Julie Butler arranged for my son and I to walk through his schedule and take a campus tour before the start of school. Mr. Blavatt met my son that very first day and welcomed him with open arms. He is very well respected, enforces the rules, expects people to follow those rules and yet is approachable. As a parent, I couldn't ask for more. I trust my son is safe under his watch and will receive the very best Martin County has to offer at South Fork High School! Thank you, Mr. Blavatt, for your leadership and for encouraging our kids to learn and achieve their very own unique potential."
