This year marks Mrs. Martin’s 13th year in education—lucky 13! Over the years, she has dedicated herself to helping students succeed and grow. Out of those 13 years, 9 have been with ISOK, and she has spent 11 years working in Oklahoma’s K12 schools. Each year has brought new challenges, growth, and incredible opportunities to connect with students.

Mrs. Martin currently serves as a Math Interventionist, a role that is quite unique for a high school setting. She loves working closely with students who struggle with math and helping them build confidence and skills at their own pace. Her focus isn’t on rushing through standards—it’s on growth. That’s what makes ISOK so special: the school meets students where they are, offering multiple pathways, flexibility, concurrent enrollment, work-study programs, and so much more. Mrs. Martin is proud to be part of a team that values student success and ensures no one is left behind.
