🔎 Senior Spotlight 🔍
Welcome back to senior Trey Rill, who just returned from Annapolis after serving as our Worcester County Page during the Maryland General Assembly! 🏛️👏
From the halls of Stephen Decatur High School to the halls of state government, Trey got a firsthand look at laws in the making—working alongside legislators, learning the ins and outs of state government, and representing Worcester County Public Schools MD like a pro.

🔎 Just a little glimpse into our Singles Living/Life Unlocked course, which focuses on building essential life skills while also creating opportunities for students to guide and support one another in a unified setting. 🔍
In addition to teaching practical skills such as cooking, cleaning, and money management, the course emphasizes socialization, builds meaningful friendships, and fosters acceptance. Students learn not only how to live more independently, but also how to collaborate, communicate, and encourage one another. 🤩
Many thanks to Special Education teacher Shonna Schulz for developing this course curriculum. We are looking forward to continuing to grow and strengthen these important skills together! 🤝

Surfrider makes waves in Annapolis! 🌊
The Maryland General Assembly is in session and our Stephen Decatur High School Surfrider Club took the opportunity to lobby for our precious wetlands and waterways.
Members prepared data, anecdotes, and other supportive information and asked for support for the Maryland Bottle Bill. Throughout the day, students met with our local representatives and had impactful discussions about reducing plastic pollution.
A special thanks to Senator (and #SDHSAlum) Mary Beth Carozza for the wonderful hospitality and a shout-out to #ClassOf2024 grad Kayla Rocco for her service in Annapolis this week.
SDHS is a Maryland Green School and this is just one of the school’s many environmental/conservation initiatives.

Attention Stephen Decatur High School families:
As we begin the 2nd semester, please talk with your child about the importance of attendance and arrival to school/classes on time. ⏰
Attending school regularly teaches responsibility, time management, and commitment--- all skills that will be necessary to succeed in life after high school! 💡
It is our goal to make a positive difference in the lives of our students and, to do that, we need to see those bright and shiny faces! 😊
