The Cure Starts Now
IMPORTANT: Please see the below statement from Worcester County Board of Education President, Todd Ferrante:
The Worcester County Board of Education held a special closed session meeting this morning to further discuss the school safety matters brought forth in the joint letter from the Worcester County State’s Attorney and Sheriff’s offices.
As school safety is of the upmost importance to the Board, we are thoughtfully reviewing both the information previously presented by our law enforcement officials as well as the information presented today from school system leadership. We truly appreciate our school system community’s patience as we examine these matters with the focus and care that it deserves.
The Board has decided today to extend the closed session of the regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday, October 17, 2023, in order to further discuss these matters. The Board will now open the regular meeting on this date at 9:00 a.m. to immediately vote to move into closed session. It is my hope that the Board of Education will be able to address our school system community during the regularly scheduled open session, which will begin at 12:30 p.m.
Again, we thank our community for their patience and understanding as we work toward resolving this matter.

IMPORTANT: Please see the below statement from Worcester County Board of Education President, Todd Ferrante.
"In light of the joint letter recently received by the Worcester County Board of Education from the Worcester County State’s Attorney and Sheriff’s Offices indicating concerns regarding school safety, the Board convened a special meeting at the earliest opportunity as the safety and security of our students and staff is the number one priority of both the Board and school system staff. This meeting occurred on Wednesday, October 4, 2023, where the Board heard the concerns from our county law enforcement officials during a closed session, and at the direction of the Board, school system leadership is currently investigating those concerns.
The Board of Education will hold another special meeting on Tuesday, October 10, 2023, at 8:30 a.m. at the Board of Education office to hear the findings of the school system’s investigation into these matters. More information about this meeting can be found on our website, www.worcesterk12.org.
At the conclusion of the October 10, closed session meeting, I anticipate being able to make a public statement specifically addressing the allegations in the letter we received while maintaining the privacy of any students and personnel referenced. We take matters of safety and security very seriously as we strive to ensure that our school system community rests assured that our schools are safe centers for learning."

Happy Custodian Appreciation Day! Today is the day we recognize the hard work and dedication of those who keep our everyday spaces beautiful. We'd like to thank our custodians for taking on the tough job of keeping our buildings clean, sanitized, and safe.
Do you have internet access at home? Did you know that the SDHS Library has hotspots available for check out? Head to the library to get a hotspot permission slip and get setup for success today!
Attention all parents of 9th and 10th grade students: SDHS will be holding a PSAT administration during the school day for all freshmen (Oct 3) and for all sophomores and invited juniors (Oct 17). The exam is digital and students will be testing on their school issued iPads. Please make sure your students have the Bluebook Exams App on their Home Screen and they come to exam day with their device fully charged. Please be aware that once students begin testing, they will not be able to leave for an early departure without forfeiting their score.
To be commended indeed!
Congratulations to seniors Simran Jain, Daniel Karcheuski, Logan Plumley, and Ethan Justice, all of whom were named National Merit Commended Scholars after scoring in the top 3% among PSAT test takers nationwide.
