📆MAKEUP DAY INFORMATION📆 Martin County School District students will NOT be required to make up the days missed due to the recent hurricanes. Fortunately, after a thorough review of the District’s instructional calendar, students will still meet state requirements and complete the academic year without the need to use make-up days at this time. We are committed to supporting the community with ongoing recovery efforts, including through the Education Foundation of Martin County’s relief fund for employees and families, providing free meals for students, and offering credit for last week’s Extended Day services. Link to relief fund: https://bit.ly/3BIZm5K We are humbled by the resilience and cooperation of our incredible community. Thank you for partnering with us in your child's education. We are #MCSDBetterTogether and #MartinStrong! 💙

Every student will benefit through the use of daily hands-on exercises, lectures, and project work. The program offers a variety of opportunities through a partnership with professionals in the fields of civil engineering, architecture, land surveying, landscape architecture, interior design, land planning, and government. Participants are trained for job skills and progression to 2-year technical or 4-year degree programs. Extensive program offerings include Engineering Graphics, Basic Architectural Principles, Computer Aided Drafting, Architectural Design, Mechanical Design, Introductory Geomatics, and Civil Engineering Principles. When asked about his favorite part of the job, Mr. Power said, "Watching students learning to Get IT! The engine turns on and I get to watch as students get lost in completing their work and enjoying something that they can pursue for a career."

He does so with an advisory board of local industry professionals.
