Today we finalized our third feeder school visit, talking with 5th graders about course selection, electives, and middle school basics. Their questions were thoughtful, and their excitement was contagious! We can’t wait for our future Sharks to enter the tank next year! 🦈💙

🦈 While scholars left early today, our Shark staff leaned in. Powerful cross‑department collaboration, honest dialogue, and a deep dive into data comparing our school to the district and beyond. Proud of this team as we keep moving forward—for kids. 💙📊

Future Sharks, we’re ready for you! 🦈💙 Stop 1/3 complete! Today, Mrs. Romano & I visited Palm City Elementary to welcome our future 6th graders and talk schedules, electives, clubs & athletics. August can’t come soon enough!

Proud of my scholars!

🦈🏀 BACK‑TO‑BACK CHAMPS! 🏆 The Sharks boys basketball team goes undefeated and claims another title! Coach Carannante & the Shark Scholars took the lead vs Murray MS and never looked back. Shark Tank was electric in a 65–55 win! #Back2Back #SharkPride 🦈🔥 @MCSDFlorida

Very proud Principal of our first season ever in Robotics and winning the core values award, making it to regionals!

When adversity starts to happen, it is amazing watching young adolescent come together and surpass the storm. Our undefeated basketball team trailed for 3 quarters but came together to win by 14! Now this TEAM is on the way to the finals!

Energized to wake up every morning knowing I help influence middle school scholars daily!

Proud of my 4 Sharks!

I love walking through the school and seeing our scholars work plastered on the walls. Having our walls “talk” with student work shows a sense of pride and belonging at our middle school!

AI is changing the way we evolve and execute daily tasks. It’s all about embracing the evolution while using it to leverage our knowledge and expand innovation.

@presleycharles @presleycharles love this! Doing big things at HL Watkins!!

From mentorship to motivation, this experience will help our young women see their power, their purpose, and their potential. #EmpowerHer #GirlsLead #HLWatkinsMS #LeadingWithLove

💐👑 Empowering HER starts now! 👑💐 Our girls are gearing up for Empower Her Day on January 28—a day created just for them to grow, connect, and lead with confidence.

Do not wait for it to happen. To be a difference maker, especially in education, you need to take risks that are worth the opportunity and success.

As we move forward with the second half of the school year, we are eagerly anticipating the start of the 2026-2027 School Year. If you have any interest in being a part of a great culture, an energetic environment, and high academic standards. Do not miss this opportunity!

Students don’t rise to rules. They rise to relationships backed by structure.
