Presenting our national presenters! We could not be any prouder of these two motivated, academic-minded, and trailblazing seniors, Simran Jain and Rowan Wilkins, who worked months preparing a presentation before the annual Secondary School Writing Centers Association Conference at UMass Boston. Jain and Wilkins, both leaders for the Stephen Decatur High School Seahawk Writing Center (SWC), compiled evidence-based documentation regarding the successes and challenges of running a high school writing center. Moving forward, the two are also looking to publish their findings. The Seahawk Writing Center will celebrate its 10 year anniversary next year. It is run by National English Honor Society advisor, Kia Terlizzi.  #SeahawksSoar #TheDecaturWay #OnceASeahawkAlwaysASeahawk Worcester County Public Schools MD

IMPORTANT STATEMENT FROM THE BOARD OF EDUCATION: The Worcester County Board of Education remains committed to the safety and security of our students and staff. While we have already publicly addressed the recommendations and presentations by our law enforcement officials, we recognize that this continued public debate on school safety is not conducive to restoring the partnership between our entities, and it stands to further incite fear in our students. To that end, the Board and Superintendent of Schools has extended an open invitation to the Worcester County Sheriff and Chief Deputy to meet with the Superintendent and Chief Safety and Academic Officer to discuss the execution of our Memorandum of Understanding and how we can best move forward for the betterment of our schools.
