The Martin County School District named its 2022-2023 Principal and Assistant Principal of the Year on October 27, 2022, honoring two veteran educators with the awards.

Jeff Raimann of Indiantown Middle School was named Principal of the Year and Tami De James of Murray Middle School was recognized as the Assistant Principal of the Year. Superintendent John D. Millay and members of the District leadership team traveled to each school to deliver the surprise announcements. 

"We received numerous outstanding nominations for many deserving leaders this year, " Dr. Millay shared. "Mr. Raimann and Ms. De James are dedicated educators who continuously go the extra mile to ensure that their schools are positive and supportive learning environments. I am honored to have them represent the Martin County School District as our 2022-2023 Principal and Assistant Principal of the Year."

Jensen Beach High School seniors Allison Smith and Ethen Grubb have been nominated to represent the Martin County School District in this year’s U.S. Presidential Scholars Program competition.

The U.S. Presidential Scholars Program was established in 1964, by executive order of the President, to recognize and honor some of our nation's most distinguished graduating high school seniors. Each year, up to 161 students are named Presidential Scholars, one of the nation's highest honors for high school students.

In partnership with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Martin County, the Martin County School District is proud to announce the revitalization of an important program that will contribute to #MCSDTheRippleEffect and reframe how mental wellness support is delivered to students.

October 11, 2022, was a bittersweet day for the Martin County School District and the Environmental Studies Center (ESC), as Shelby, the loggerhead sea turtle, was released into the Atlantic Ocean.

Shelby, who is now three years old, has resided at the District’s one-of-a-kind Environmental Studies Center since she was a three-month-old hatchling! Shelby has provided hundreds of Martin County students with first-hand knowledge of her species as she happily swam around her tank each day.

On November 1, 2022, the Martin County School District will host its annual perfect score recognition ceremonies for elementary, middle and high school students.  One hundred fifteen (115) students earned a perfect score on one or more statewide assessments during the 2021-2022 school year and will be honored during the ceremonies, which will be held inside the cafeteria at Stuart Middle School. 

"On behalf of our School Board and entire faculty and staff, I want to congratulate these students for their tremendous accomplishments," Superintendent John D. Millay said. "Their mastery of content in each assessed subject area is to be commended. It is our collective hope that they will continue to build upon this success as they progress as learners in the Martin County School District."

Superintendent John D. Millay and Deputy Superintendent Michael Maine attended the United Way of Martin County's October Community Conversation at the Kane Center this week.

Dr. Millay provided attendees with an update on teaching, learning and demographic shifts throughout the Martin County School District. We continue to encourage anyone with a little free time in their schedule to consider volunteering to read to our students. To eliminate the vocabulary and language acquisition gaps that exist throughout the District, we need a minimum of 100 volunteer hours for reading per week at each school.
