Greetings from Dr. Martin

Greetings students, parents, employees, and community members.  I was sworn in as the new superintendent for the Yadkin County Schools on September 30th and have just completed my first two weeks.  It has been a wonderful two weeks for me.  Over the past two weeks I have been able to visit several schools and have had the opportunity to meet students, teachers, and school administrators.  It has been a great experience for me and everyone I have met has been very helpful.  I have also been impressed with the dedication of the teachers and school administrators, and the positive attitudes they have towards the children and their education.
I also would like to offer my thanks to the Yadkin County Board of Education for the support they have given me.  I sincerely appreciate and am humbled by the opportunity they have given me to serve as superintendent.  I take this opportunity very seriously and am going to work hard to provide the best educational opportunities I can for our students.
Thanks also goes to the Yadkin County Board of Commissioners for their support of a grant proposal to provide further safety measures for our schools.  I appreciate their willingness to support the school system as it seeks funding from the state of North Carolina to make our schools safer.  
Again, I am excited to be able to serve Yadkin County as superintendent of schools.  I look forward to meeting more of you over the next few weeks and months.

Todd Martin
Superintendent
