☀️🌊#MCSDSummerAdventures☀️🌊 Martin County High School student Kate and her brother Luke, a Stuart Middle School student, took a summer trip to the United Kingdom with their family! "We stayed in and explored London and Cambridge in England, and also Glasgow and Edinburgh in Scotland," mom Jacqueline shared. "It was fun to see so many sites and landmarks that have been important throughout world history. We saw Big Ben, the Tower of London, Kensington and Buckingham Palace, and much more. We braved the tube system 🚇 and “mind the gap” each time. We visited the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh and The British Museum in London. There we browsed through many exhibits of scientific, historical, and artistic importance. Kate has just completed the Cambridge Assessment International Education program at MCHS, so visiting the University of Cambridge was especially enriching. Both students also row with Treasure Coast Rowing Club and we watched many rowers in action in Cambridge." #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
