STEPHEN DECATUR HIGH SCHOOL

These young men have shown incredible dedication, resilience, and heart all season long, and now we want to honor their achievement the right way, with State Championship Rings.
Championship rings are a tradition that lasts a lifetime. We’re asking our community, alumni, families, and supporters to come together and help us cover the expenses so every player and coach can receive a ring at no cost to them.
👉 Please consider donating to our GoFundMe and sharing this post to help us celebrate this historic moment for Decatur Soccer.
Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference.
These boys made us proud. Let’s show them how proud!https://www.gofundme.com/f/stephen-decatur-high-school-boys-soccer-championship-rings?attribution_id=sl:7ec5df95-aafe-4de5-a7ec-acc9d4484baf&lang=en_US&ts=1763604653&utm_campaign=man_sharesheet_dash&utm_content=amp17_control&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link

SDHS FCA Recognized for its Longevity
Over 30 years ago, a little known chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) began at Stephen Decatur High School, and it has not slowed down since.
This morning, the Lower Shore Fellowship of Christian Athletes recognized our chapter as the longest running chapter on the lower Eastern Shore at its annual breakfast.
Advisor Amy Fenzel-Mergott shared the history of the club and a few powerful stories that emerged along the way, including the story of former SDHS math teacher Larry Schott, founding advisor, who bravely battled ALS for over 20 years, and her own personal battle against cancer.
The SDHS FCA is a faith-based club that brings students together to grow spiritually, serve others, and strengthen their leadership both on and off the fields/courts. The group meets before school every other week—and weekly during the seasons of Advent and Lent—for devotions, fellowship, and reflection. Throughout the years, members have partnered with the Chesapeake Housing Mission building wheelchair ramps and the Salvation Army ringing the bell for the holidays.
