So many wonderful things are happening at Martinez all the way to the very last bell.
This year, Martinez didn’t just meet the moment… we rose to the challenge. From the classrooms to the hallways, the stage to the playground, this community showed up with heart, grit, laughter, and love for kids every single step of the way.
Huge shoutout to Ms. Dunn for creating a theme that became more than words. It became the spirit of this school year. 🩵

Only 25 Martinez yearbooks left! 🩵
These pages hold more than pictures. They hold field days, friendships, favorite teachers, spirit weeks, big milestones, and the little moments our Mustangs will look back on years from now.
And alumni know… one day these memories become priceless.
Yearbooks are $25 each and once they’re gone, they’re gone.

🎓 Back to where it all began! 🎓
We loved welcoming some of our incredible Class of ’26 graduates back to Martinez before they take the big stage. Walking these halls one more time reminds us how far you’ve come—and we couldn’t be prouder!
