Gaining work experience, serving with others, and making an impact in the local community is what internships are all about. Seen here serving at Georgia Deans Restaurant of Williamston, Elise Missigman far surpassed her required hours as she enjoys her intern environment and the business relationships she has formed.
We have a few students who are interning in the food service industry. Janielle James, a senior at RHS, is interning and now employed at Golden Skillet of Plymouth. Janielle, seen here with a few of her co-workers, reminds us it is not "fast food" but "good food quickly". This internship has helped her appreciate the business aspect of a restaurant while gaining customer service experience as well.
Physicals for High School Sports!
MCS students continue to showcase their skills in the business community through our J.O.B.S. Internship Program. Landon Stalls, a Junior at RHS, uses his technical and mechanical skills at Cowan's Repair of Williamston.

What an unforgettable Wednesday it was! Picture this: 6 teams, each consisting of 6 students spanning grades 3 through 8, from MCS elementary and middle schools, all gathering at ECU's Murphy Center, fueled with excitement for the Math Champions competition hosted by the Northeast AIG Region. This marked a first for Martin County Schools, and our students certainly didn't disappoint. They rose to the occasion, showcasing their incredible talent and teamwork. Witnessing students persevering through challenges as a team was truly inspiring!
A big shout out from Ms. Riggins goes to Ms. Carli Patterson for assisting with the morning drop off and to Bella White and Katibeth Speller for their outstanding assistance with the elementary students, ensuring the day ran smoothly. A special thank you to Coach McGill for his unwavering dedication and support to Martin County Schools. Lastly, thank you to the parents, teachers, principals, and the bus garage! Everyone's invaluable contributions did not go unnoticed! 🌟 #Teamwork #Appreciation
The Math Champions competition, an annual event aimed at nurturing student interest and confidence in math, encourages problem-solving and critical thinking skills. During the event, participants engage in two thrilling components: the math quiz bowl and the breakout rooms. The math quiz bowl is where teams race against the clock to solve challenging math questions. The breakout rooms are where they apply mathematics, logic, critical thinking, and decoding skills to crack four different problems. Once they solve the final code, they race to their grade level station to unlock the breakout box!

Today was an awesome day for the 4th Grade AIG students. Over the past month, the students from EJH, JES, RES, SCES have been studying about fossils and dinosaurs with Ms. Riggins and Mr. Galich. To conclude their studies, we embarked on a field trip to the Aurora Fossil Museum for hands-on fossil digging. Following a morning of exploration, the students stopped in Washington for pizza at the park. The four groups joined together and played as if they'd been friends forever!
Ms. Riggins would like to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to Mrs. Kristi Roberson, Mr. Galich, Mr. Wynne and especially to the Senior CTE Intern students, Justin Webb and Bradley Reason, for taking time to serve as a mentor for these young students! I think it is safe to say, everyone had a great day!
MCS Interns are a great example of "Martin Offers More!" They are also a great example to younger students and our constituents for the awesome jobs they are performing as community leaders and business professionals. Brooklyn Bailey's internship has enhanced her passion and future plans for law and the legal profession. Thank you to the Martin County Clerk of Court's office for your partnership. #MCSCTE #MartinOffersMore jkw
