Surfrider makes waves in Annapolis! 🌊
The Maryland General Assembly is in session and our Stephen Decatur High School Surfrider Club took the opportunity to lobby for our precious wetlands and waterways.
Members prepared data, anecdotes, and other supportive information and asked for support for the Maryland Bottle Bill. Throughout the day, students met with our local representatives and had impactful discussions about reducing plastic pollution.
A special thanks to Senator (and #SDHSAlum) Mary Beth Carozza for the wonderful hospitality and a shout-out to #ClassOf2024 grad Kayla Rocco for her service in Annapolis this week.
SDHS is a Maryland Green School and this is just one of the school’s many environmental/conservation initiatives.

Attention Stephen Decatur High School families:
As we begin the 2nd semester, please talk with your child about the importance of attendance and arrival to school/classes on time. ⏰
Attending school regularly teaches responsibility, time management, and commitment--- all skills that will be necessary to succeed in life after high school! 💡
It is our goal to make a positive difference in the lives of our students and, to do that, we need to see those bright and shiny faces! 😊

History Meets Art and …. Forensics 🇺🇸 🎨🔬
What happens when you turn American history into a body?
Students in Josh Trice’s Advanced Placement US History classes found out.
In this project, students created historical portraits of America as a living body—healthy, whole, and thriving. Each limb and organ symbolized a key part of American politics, industry, and society during the nation’s early years. Then came the hard part… 💥
Through a symbolic autopsy, students examined what went wrong. Using injuries and illnesses on their “cadavers,” they explained the political, economic, and social breakdowns that led to southern secession and ultimately the Civil War—from sectional tensions to industrial divides.
🔍 Art became analysis.
🎨 Creativity met critical thinking.
📜 History came to life.
