📚CELEBRATING OUR HISTORY📚
As our celebration of #BlackHistoryMonth continues, we spotlight two brothers who were educational pioneers in Martin County, Charles E. and Robert G. Murray.
Charles Murray founded the Stuart Training School in 1926 - this was the county's first high school for Black students. He remained principal until 1939 when his brother, Robert, took over.
Stuart Training School eventually became Spectrum Academy and Murray Middle School was named after the brothers.

The periodic table of elements is arranged in rows and columns based on properties of the elements and their atoms. So, Mrs. Jerrells science classes started their unit on the periodic table by creating their own periodic table of candy!
Congrats to our MathCounts team! They represented MMS well at the competition. Team members are Deven Chauhan, Landon Kodare, Violet Boulter, Roy Krum, and Isabella Panaro.
Special thanks to the PBIS team for completing our team look, the supportive families who made all the practice possible, and these incredible mathematicians.
📚CELEBRATING LEADERS AND TRAILBLAZERS📚
Today, we celebrate our first of many local leaders in honor of #BlackHistoryMonth. Dr. David L. Anderson was an educational pioneer in Martin County, having served as a School Board Member and in various leadership roles at IRSC - Indian River State College for more than 30 years.
In 2006, he was honored as the namesake of the Martin County School District's newest middle school - Dr. David L. Anderson Middle School. Dr. Anderson passed away on December 23, 2021, at the age of 80.
