Students represent on national stage! 🎉
Stephen Decatur High School students, and staff, presented at the National Association for School-University Partnerships conference this past week.
Along with instructor Kristina Cosgrove, Curriculum Resource Teacher Mandi Wells, and Assistant Principal Jen Garton, students spoke about their experiences in our Salisbury University Dual Enrollment EDFN 210: School in a Diverse Society, sharing what they learned about the sociological, historical, and philosophical approaches to education and educational policy, while also completing 30 clinical hours in elementary classrooms.
Our students also shared firsthand how taking college-level courses while still in high school has shaped their confidence, academic goals, and future plans as educators. The students highlighted their favorite parts of the course while detailing the support systems that helped them succeed. They spoke with honesty, insight, and professionalism.
Congratulations to these outstanding students for showcasing their hard work and representing our community so well! 👏📚✨

School Resource Deputy Appreciation Day 🏫👮
Behind every safe school environment is a team of professionals who show up every day with purpose.
Our School Resource Deputies stand in the gap—not only as law enforcement, but as mentors, problem-solvers, protectors, and trusted adults our students can rely on. They build meaningful relationships, de-escalate crises, guide young people in the right direction, and respond without hesitation when it matters most.
Just as importantly, they leave a lasting impact on the students they serve. Through encouragement, accountability, and support, our deputies influence the moments that help shape who a young person becomes. Whether it’s a conversation in the hallway, a calm presence during a challenging day, or stepping in to help a student make a better choice, they help students feel seen, valued, and capable of success.
By investing in relationships and reinforcing positive decision-making, our School Resource Deputies contribute to more than safety—they help build stronger students, stronger schools, and stronger futures. The impact they make today extends far beyond the classroom, helping prepare students to become confident, responsible, and productive members of our community.
Their dedication reflects the very best of public service, and we are truly grateful for all they do for our schools and our community.
Thank you for all you do!!!

🔎 Just a little glimpse into our Singles Living/Life Unlocked course, which focuses on building essential life skills while also creating opportunities for students to guide and support one another in a unified setting. 🔍
In addition to teaching practical skills such as cooking, cleaning, and money management, the course emphasizes socialization, builds meaningful friendships, and fosters acceptance. Students learn not only how to live more independently, but also how to collaborate, communicate, and encourage one another. 🤩
Many thanks to Special Education teacher Shonna Schulz for developing this course curriculum. We are looking forward to continuing to grow and strengthen these important skills together! 🤝
