🌟 THANK YOU, COMMUNITY! 🌟
SDMS and BIS would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who came out to support our recent Human Trafficking Awareness Presentation. This important event, hosted by our schools and led by SDHS seniors from the WTHS Criminal Justice Program, brought powerful information and much-needed awareness to a critical issue impacting youth today.
We are deeply grateful for the collaboration and support of the Life Crisis Center, the Worcester County Sheriff's Department, and the Worcester County Child Advocacy Center—your partnership is invaluable.
Together, we are educating, empowering, and protecting our community. 💙






Safety is a community effort! 💙 Use the Safe Schools Maryland Tipline to report anything that doesn’t seem right. Every call helps keep our schools safe!
