Another year and another terrific Stephen Decatur High School Job Fair. We are so thankful for our local businesses and we are excited to see them thrive!

Thank you to our school counselors and guidance staff, Worcester Technical High School, Newark MD Phil Cropper and his culinary students for treating our business community to their yummies, our teachers, and, of course, to our dozens of community members. #OnceASeahawkAlwaysASeahawk #SeeUs #SeahawksSoar #TheDecaturWay Worcester County Public Schools MD
