Do your Leadership Days kick off with an Amazing Race around the county?! No place better under the sun and #UnstoppableSince1925! 💪😎☀️ #ALLINMartin👊

🎉 Today we had the pleasure of welcoming some of our newest team members to Hidden Oaks Middle School during MCSD’s New Employee Orientation! We’re excited to kick off an incredible year filled with growth, collaboration, and student success. Welcome to the Shark family! 💙🦈

Starting the year aligning our mission and vision with words on the wall, relationship building and cross curriculum planning. We are set on creating a place where all scholars will learn! Looking forward to this school year at HOMS. Jimmy Casas Martin County School District SuptMMaine

Be intentional with every interaction we can have with our scholars. Fist bumps, high five are all instant connection that can make a lasting impact down the line. Even middle school scholars thrive when connections are made! #flipthescript #relationships #culture #bethechange

HAPPY LABOR DAY🇺🇸 This Labor Day, we celebrate the hard-working employees who keep our A-rated District moving forward. Your dedication shapes brighter futures every single day! 🍎📚✨ Wishing everyone a well-deserved and restful Labor Day! #ALLINMartin👊

This was a great start to my Friday!

Celebrating Shark Scholars this past Thursday at our NJHS Induction ceremony. These 110 scholars exhibit academic excellence, social awareness and a humble spirit! Love when I get to celebrate my Shark scholars! #NJHS #middleschool #excellence

This week I put my Principal hat to the side and taught Algebra classes literal equations. So often admin can get wrapped up in our jobs, that a reminder of one day in the classroom, resets our focus to the kids and our staff. #math #middleschool #principal #teacher #amle #focus

LIFE SKILLS WITH AVID👔 Who says middle school lessons can’t be stylish? 😎 HOMS AVID students swapped notebooks for neckties this week, learning to tie a tie with Principal Forte. They’re not just celebrating AVID Day (Sept 12)—they’re celebrating all week long! #ALLINMartin👊

These shark scholar athletes are incredible! Today they moved their record to 2-0 as they won in 2 sets. Loved seeing the gym rocking for our lady sharks.

Leading and learning with my staff about student engagement through small group vs BTC gave great insight on how to prepare our scholars for success! #principal #middleschool #smallgroup #BTC #publicschool

Throwback to MCSD’s First Annual State of the District Breakfast! Superintendent Maine delivered a powerful message about breaking down walls, running through barriers, and doing whatever it takes to ensure our students succeed. 💪 MCSD is the place to be! 🏫✨

Showing off scholar work is not just an elementary thing! Love walking around my middle school and having our teachers post their scholars work! It creates excitement and a sense of belonging. #amle #scholar #education #middleschool

Excited and honored for my school, Hidden Oaks MS, to be named a School of Excellence in the state of Florida! Proud of all the hard work my scholars and staff have put in! We are 1 of 5 schools in MCSD to earn this distinction. #Excellence #education #middleschool

Today was an amazing opportunity that SPAM in MCSD got to inspire the next generation of robotic enthusiasts. My scholars had an incredible time working with and learning from everyone! #robotic #stem #education #leaders #future

Stations rotation with a twist! Mrs. Bakers world history students were locked in with their groups as they finished each stations work! No moving seats, instead they got new work when they finished their current work! #engagement #middleschool #history #smallgroup

Having a positive school culture creates a radiation of positive spirit throughout the building. Today my staff presented on chapter 2/3 of Words on the Wall by Jimmy Casas! I love seeing the passion through these presentations. #bookstudy #culture #middleschool

Our scholars are truly amazing! Tonight my middle school choir combined forces with the local high school for an amazing night of singing! Great job by Mrs. Rocks and our girls! #middleschool #martincounty Martin County School District

It was truly an honor to show my fellow colleagues and executive directors my school today. They learned about my vision for HOMS and what I have implemented since becoming principal. Today was one for the books! 😁🦈

Breaking the myth that family engagement ends in middle school! 💙 Today we hosted our first-ever Shark Bites & Family Delights, where scholars enjoyed lunch with their parents. Smiles, laughter, connection—it all happened! 🦈 #SharkPride #FamilyEngagement FASA
