Students supporting students. Creating a community where everyone can flourish and reach their full potential happens here! 🌟🤝👏 Students from South Fork High School, Jensen Beach High School and Martin County High School recently took part in the Peer Forward Workshop at California State Los Angelos. The transformative experience turned them into Peer Leaders, arming them with skills to motivate their peers in pursuing higher education, with the goal of boosting their chances of success after graduation. They also forged meaningful connections with students from their local high schools and strengthened their relationship with the Boys and Girls Club of Martin County. #ALLINMartin👊

🍎LEAVING A LEGACY🍎 On Tuesday night, Superintendent Michael Maine and the Martin County School Board celebrated the career of South Fork High School's Ms. Tera Parsons. Ms. Parsons has served the Martin County School District for 32 amazing years. She is a product of MCSD, as she is an alum of Warfield Elementary School, Indiantown Middle School and South Fork High School. Being a student in the District helped point her to her dream career: teaching in the District she grew up attending. She started her career at the very first school where she began her educational journey, Warfield Elementary. Ms. Parsons put her heart and soul into teaching. "Tera is the epitome of an educational professional and, most importantly, one of the most amazing ESE teachers I’ve worked with in my lifetime," friend and colleague Julie Butler shared. Thank you, Ms. Parsons, for your passion for education and for always pitching in to help out your teammates over the last 32 years! We wish you the best in retirement! #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolProud

🍎LEAVING A LASTING LEGACY🍎 On Tuesday, Superintendent Michael Maine and the Martin County School Board celebrate the incredible career of Mr. Al Fabrizio, former Principal of Martin County High School. Mr. Fabrizio has served in education for an impressive 43 years. His educational journey started in New York, but he has been part of the Martin County School District family for the last 35 years. He's been a Special Education teacher, Coordinator of Special Education, Dean of Students and Assistant Principal of Academics. For the previous eight years, Mr. Fabrizio impacted many MCHS students as their Principal, where he helped them reach their individual finish lines and become the Small District of the Year for the Cambridge Assessment International Education program. Mr. Fabrizio is a pillar of strength, passion and consistency. He showed what it truly means to be ALL in Martin, as he was extremely proud of not only MCHS, but also the entire District. Thank you, Mr. Fabrizio, for your passion and dedication to your students, school, the District and the community. We wish you the very best in retirement. #ALLINMartin👊 #PublicSchoolProud
