Accomplishment: Martyn was one of recipients of the 2010-11 Spirit of the Eagle Award presented to deserving students in recognition of courage, wisdom, strength, loyalty and character. Created this academic year, the award recognizes exemplary leadership characteristics among students. It is inscribed as follows:
“According to the Indian legend, the wings of the eagle signify the spiritual characteristics of honor, bravery, wisdom, courage and strength. With wisdom and courage, the majestic eagle sours gracefully in the skies, reminding us to see a broader vision of the world and strengthening our resolve to become productive global citizens. Eagle pride drives us to achieve, to excel and to expand our minds to see unlimited opportunities and possibilities. Etowah Eagles are intelligent, swift, strong, noble, protective and loyal.”
