Meet Belinda Sawyer, Stephen Decatur High School's Teacher of the Year, who we'll be celebrating at the annual Teacher of the Year Celebration on April 16.
Belinda Sawyer has taught Spanish at SDHS for 22 years, with 28 years overall as an educator. She earned her Bachelor’s degree from the University of Maryland, Master’s Degrees from the University of Alabama and Salisbury University, and served as a Fulbright Scholar in Mexico in 2008. Currently, she is pursuing a Master’s certificate in Applied Spanish from the University of Indianapolis. Señora Sawyer loves teaching Spanish because bilingualism opens a new world for students and allows them to make important cultural connections. Señora Sawyer also serves as the advisor for the Academic Team and Spanish Honor Society.
How does my high school student qualify for WeXL?
Last night was a special night, celebrating our #mathletes at the annual Mu Alpha Theta Honor Society Induction Ceremony.
♾️💪
Thank you to #SDHSAlum Ms.Alexandra Clagett for showing your work - and putting everything math related into perspective. We hope you enjoyed returning to your hallways as the guest speaker!
A math mind has no limits.
Congratulations to all!

Decatur Theatre students headed to Buckingham Elementary School for a fairy tale workshop with their pre-K 4 students🦄🧚🏼♀️🐉 Not sure who had more fun!
Another year and another terrific Stephen Decatur High School Job Fair.
We are so thankful for our local businesses and we are excited to see them thrive!
It’s also always special to see so many #SDHSAlumni represent the community and return to these hallways to give opportunities to our students.
A production like this doesn’t happen alone. Thank you to our school counselors and guidance staff, Worcester Technical High School, Newark MD Phil Cropper and his culinary students for treating our business community to their yummies, our teachers, and, of course, to our dozens of community members.
