😎Summer Academy: Full STEAM Ahead!🚀
The first day of the Stephen Decatur High School Summer Academy is officially in the 📚, and we're off and running!
Students kicked things off with icebreakers, launched into galaxy painting 🌌🎨 as they set their sights on the stars, explored computer coding adventures 💻, sharpened their reading, writing, and math skills, and most importantly—had fun along the way.
It's going to be a summer filled with learning, creativity, discovery, and new friendships. We can't wait to see where this journey takes us!

🪐✨ From mythology to the Milky Way! ✨🪐
Students in Christie Moore’s Mythology class traveled to the Salisbury University planetarium to see the constellations behind the legends they’ve been studying.
The visit brought classroom lessons to life, allowing students to see how the legends of Perseus, Hercules, Orion, and the Pleiades became permanent fixtures in the night sky long before they appeared in textbooks. 🌌
Who says mythology is ancient history? These students got a firsthand look at how the stars still tell the stories today! 🌟🔭

Geometry is anything but flat in Mr. Tom Hinkle’s classes! 📐✨
Students recently put their geometry skills into action by designing and building impressive geodesic structures. These eye-catching creations are based on geometric principles involving triangles, which provide strength and stability while using minimal materials. 🔺🔻
Hinkle’s students experienced firsthand how geometry is used in architecture, engineering, and design. Great work by some of our aspiring builders and problem solvers! 🧠

🌳🎨 Creativity is reaching new heights in Art I!
Under the direction of Art Teacher Jessica Gonzalez, students designed and built imaginative 3D tree house structures that brought the elements and principles of art to life.
While form was the primary focus, each project also included a detailed written reflection documenting the planning, process, challenges, and final outcome.
The results? Forests (and beaches) full of creativity, problem-solving, and artistic vision! 👏✨

A trip to Baywater Landing proved to be the perfect hands-on learning experience on a gorgeous day.
❤️🌊
Students in Heather Wieland’s classes cruised the Chincoteague Bay learning about the seafood industry, local folklore, and history. One student even tried her hand as Captain, too! 🧑✈️
On shore, students went fishing 🎣 and learned about crabs 🦀, including how they breed and molt, and how to pick crabs when Mom is not around!

When chemistry meets art . . . (👩🔬 + 🎨)
amazing things happen!
Students in Sara Patrick’s Advanced Placement Chemistry class put their creativity and scientific knowledge on full display as they transformed complex chemistry concepts into beautiful works of art. 🧑🎨
Through painting and a gallery walk, students visually demonstrated principles including Entropy, Titration, REDOX Reactions, DNA, and Coral Bleaching.
The result? A colorful fusion of science, imagination, and learning that proved chemistry is about much more than formulas and lab reports. 🔬🖌️✨
