Meet Michele Weller, Front Office/ Attendance Secretary at Stephen Decatur Middle
4 years with Worcester County Public Schools
“What I enjoy most is the opportunity to work with such a diverse group of people. Each interaction brings something different, and I value being able to support and connect with everyone in the school community.”
A Proud Moment
The daily opportunity to connect with the students and support everyone in the building. Whether I'm helping a student, assisting staff or working with parents in person or over the phone, I take pride in being someone people can rely on and making a positive impact in the school community.
What People May Not Realize
One thing people might not realize about my job is how much multitasking it involves. Working in the front office means constantly interacting with students, staff, and parents, often all at the same time. We're balancing calls, visitors, and day-to-day needs while making sure everyone feels supported and taken care of.
What She Loves Most About Her School Community
What I love most about our school community is the strong sense of teamwork. Everyone is willing to support one another, and that collaboration creates a positive, welcoming environment for both staff and students.

Meet Amber Clark, Cafeteria Manager at Buckingham Elementary
4 years with Worcester County Public Schools
“I love when we're able to get a child to try something new. Whether it's a new entree or fruit they've never had, or even a vegetable.”
What She Loves About Her Work
Of course, the kids, but also the ladies I get to work with day to day in the kitchen.
What People May Not Realize
It's very busy, very fast paced. We have a lot of work to do in a short time to do it.
What She Loves Most About Her School Community
I love how supportive everyone is. Whether it's Dr. Jackson jumping on the cafeteria line to help serve, or the custodians and teachers helping get the kids through the line a little faster.

At the end of each quarter when grades get collected and distributed smoothly with no hiccups. Also, families having a successful and seamless experience in registering and enrolling in our school system because of good communication and assistance in making the transition smoothly.

What She Loves Most About Her School Community
I like the close knit feel of SHMS and the positive energy that has become a part of our school. I like that we are small so we can know the students on a first name basis.
