Welcome to Martinsville High School – Home of the Artesians! Lots of great things going on here in Artie Nation!
As your principal and a proud graduate of Martinsville High School – I want to say that… I was very lucky to grow up, where I grew up, and who I grew up with.
Our goal is to help provide opportunities and experiences for all students here at Martinsville High School to be able to say that in future years. Anything you need… any questions… Please do not hesitate to contact us! Artesians attack!
Thanks,
Jeff Bell, Principal!
