๐LEAVING A LEGACY๐
During Tuesday eveningโs School Board meeting, Superintendent Michael Maine and Board members proudly honored the career of Ms. Lizabeth Careccia.
Ms. Careccia has served the Martin County School District for 26 years (technically longer when counting her time as a substitute), beginning as a 1st grade teacher in 1999. She spent over a decade in the classroom before transitioning first to SeaWind Elementary - Hobe Sound, FL, and then Martin County High School in 2019 as an Intervention Problem-Solving Coach.
Her dedication to students, families, and colleagues has left a meaningful mark. We thank Ms. Careccia for her years of service and wish her the very best in retirement!
