WORCESTER COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS -

April is Maryland Safe Schools Month, and Worcester County Public Schools remains committed to maintaining safe and secure learning environments for all students and staff. As part of this commitment, we value our partnerships with our allied emergency service agencies, I Love U Guys Foundation, and Maryland Center for School Safety. We encourage our students and staff to stay vigilant and report any concerns to a trusted school employee or through the Safe Schools Maryland Anonymous Reporting System. Additionally, we encourage everyone to familiarize themselves with the five standard response actions used during an incident to help ensure a coordinated and effective response. Learn more about our protocols at www.worcesterk12.org/page/school-safety-protocols. #WeAreWorcester

Did you know confidence grows when students challenge themselves in different ways?
Competing in sports and performing in the arts strengthens courage, creativity, and character.

Meet Tyrell: Tyrell exemplifies endurance and artistry through Basketball and Band. Basketball builds strength, teamwork, and resilience, while Band requires rhythm, discipline, and careful attention to detail. Excelling in both helps develop leadership, confidence, and creative expression. #WeAreWorcester #YouCanDoBoth

Health II students at Snow Hill High School recently had the opportunity to learn and practice CPR and how to properly use an AED—critical skills that can make all the difference in an emergency. Through hands-on practice, students are building the confidence and knowledge needed to act quickly and effectively when it matters most. #WeAreWorcester #SafetyMatters

A special shout-out to our Worcester County Youth Council high school students, who worked hard last night to complete mental health/kindness jars and hygiene kits that they will be donating to people in need in our community. We are so proud to help our students become leaders who give back! #WeAreWorcester #WorcesterProud

Did you know teamwork happens on the field and in the choir rehearsal room? When students participate in both athletics and the arts, they develop collaboration skills that last a lifetime.

Meet Skylar: As a Field Hockey athlete, Skylar develops endurance, strategy, and teamwork. As a Choir member, she refines listening skills, harmony, and expressive performance. Both arenas strengthen her collaboration skills, resilience, and confidence. #WeAreWorcester #YouCanDoBoth
