Add Author to the Resume
Senior Simran Jain has added another accomplishment to her already established resume: published author.
Jain’s “Zoya’s Marvelous Adventures in Money,” now available on Amazon, has a target audience of grades 3 – 7. The book follows a 9-year old girl as she explores her world and learns a series of financial lessons along the way. Each chapter covers a different financial topic, culminating in the blossoming of an independent, confident, and financially astute young woman.
Jain is also exploring the possibility of publishing a research article stemming from a presentation that she made before the Secondary Writing Center Association at the University of Massachusetts this past March regarding the challenges and successes of the Stephen Decatur High School Seahawk Writing Center.
In the fall, Jain plans to attend college to major in business and math. She also has aspirations of becoming a novelist.

Honoring these outstanding humans for their commitment to honorable service at the Worcester County Public Schools MD Military Commitment Ceremony. Hailey Smith, Jackson Corbin, and Madilyn Herrell have enlisted in the United States Armed Forces, and we are so grateful that they will bring their talents (and a little bit of Decatur) as they serve our nation.

Celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week with star recognitions, posters, goodies, and Mimic Monday! #TeacherAppreciationWeek2024






We are looking forward to celebrating these 13 college-bound athletes this Wednesday at 9AM!


It’s the last waltz for some giants in our music department! After 30 years, Band Director JD Foell conducts a final performance at our annual Spring Concert. The sounds were melodic, but we are definitely feeling heavy as his days at SDHS come to a decrescendo. Thank you Mr. Foell for your countless hours, parades, marches, concerts, and, most of all, the love of music that you’ve shared with thousands of students. The evening also marked the final performance for our seniors: Saylor Amos, Emily Barnhill, Jersi Hilliard, Anthony Guerriero, Jonah Ridgely, Chandler Smith, and CJ Shoemaker. Keep calm and rock on! 🎶🎼🎵🎹🎺🎷

It’s been an awesome #EarthWeek at SDHS. From upcycling to recycling, advocacy to awareness, and energy conservation to clean-ups, we are proud of our environmentally responsible students! The week culminated in a grounds sweep resulting in a collection of nearly 100 lbs of refuse! Many thanks to the continued support of the Surfrider Foundation - Ocean City Maryland Chapter for its continued support of our school and community. #SDHSGoesGreen #GreenSchool ❤️🌎🌊
