South Fork High School

🚨🐾 New Bulldog Alert! Welcome Amber Moran to the ESE department! She says "I'm thrilled to join the South Fork ESE department and become part of the Bulldog team! Originally from a three-generation dairy farm in Central New York, I've called this area of Florida home for the past 20 years. Before teaching, I was a professional artist, creating and exhibiting artwork for saltwater sport fishing tournaments from South Florida to the Carolinas. I love blending my art background into education to enrich my students' learning experiences. My journey as an ESE support facilitator began in 2021 after substituting for the Martin County School District. There, I gained invaluable insights from experienced colleagues at MMS, focusing on classroom management, co-teaching, and building strong relationships with students and parents. Supporting 7th and 8th graders in English Language Arts has been especially rewarding, and I'm excited to see many of my former students at South Fork High. I hold an M.S. in Education and hold my ESE certification. I'm a proud mom of two boys. My husband Adam and I are celebrating our younger son's junior year at South Fork High and our older son's recent graduation in 2024 with CNA and MA certifications. Our family loves to go hiking, camping, and travel. This summer we are lucky to have had the awesome opportunity to explore Alaska. Can't wait to contribute my experience and dedication to the Bulldog team!" We are excited to welcome you! 🐾🚨

🎨CELEBRATING ARTISTIC ACHIEVEMENT🎨 During the School Board meeting on Tuesday evening, students who participated and placed in the annual Marvin S. Cone Juried Art Show, hosted by MartinArts, were recognized. This prestigious event offers student artists a platform to showcase their finest work to the community, fostering creative thinking, boosting self-esteem, and honoring artistic excellence. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to MartinArts for their invaluable partnership in nurturing the talents of our young artists! You can still see the beautiful work displayed at the Court House Cultural Center through June 22! #ALLINMartin👊

🚨🐾 New Bulldog Alert! Welcome Ana Ferguson to our ELL department! Ms. Ferguson says "As a younger person, I used to help my mother, a teacher, with tasks that kept her working late into the night.

COMING SOON TO BULLDOG NATION 🚧🐾 Demolition of the original South Fork High School gymnasium is underway, a cornerstone of the campus since 1983. As we bid farewell, we look ahead to the future-- the new state-of-the-art sports facility is nearing completion! Thanks to the Martin County taxpayers for generously voting to approve a half-cent sales tax increase in November 2018, the Martin County School District was able to fund this new gym and other capital projects throughout the District. We look forward to unveiling a surprise in the new facility incorporating a piece of history. Stay tuned Bulldog Nation!
