It is always special celebrating our #WeXL honorees. Congratulations to all of our honor roll recipients! 💙🖤🤍 A special thank you to our incredible keynote speaker, Mr. Daniel Bowen, composer, arranger, pianist, and Symphony 21 founder, #SDHSAlum, and #ClassOf2004 graduate. Mr. Bowen is an incredibly gifted composer whose talent continues to inspire—but what truly stood out tonight was his humility and the heartfelt message he shared. His reflections on the importance of relationships and kindness resonated deeply with our entire community. Danny, you represent our school with grace, purpose, and pride. Thank you for coming home and reminding us of the values that truly matter. #SeahawksSoar #DecaturNation #SeeUs #TheDecaturWay #WeXL #OnceASeahawkAlwaysASeahawk Worcester County Public Schools MD

Meet Belinda Sawyer, Stephen Decatur High School's Teacher of the Year, who we'll be celebrating at the annual Teacher of the Year Celebration on April 16. Belinda Sawyer has taught Spanish at SDHS for 22 years, with 28 years overall as an educator. She earned her Bachelor’s degree from the University of Maryland, Master’s Degrees from the University of Alabama and Salisbury University, and served as a Fulbright Scholar in Mexico in 2008. Currently, she is pursuing a Master’s certificate in Applied Spanish from the University of Indianapolis. Señora Sawyer loves teaching Spanish because bilingualism opens a new world for students and allows them to make important cultural connections. Señora Sawyer also serves as the advisor for the Academic Team and Spanish Honor Society.

How does my high school student qualify for WeXL?
