Last night the Decatur Seahawks flew to Snow Hill to scrimmage with our Eagles.
It's all about pushing each other to be the best versions of ourselves, sharpening our skills, and strategizing for victory. 🏆 Plus, what better way to elevate our game than by learning from those we've been battling against all season long? 🚀
This is what sportsmanship is all about, folks – setting aside rivalries and coming together as athletes, competitors, and friends to elevate the game we love. 🏀💪
Let's go! #WeareWorcester #Helpabrotherout #PlayoffTime
Thank You to T.C. Studios for leading a successful Paint Night for Black History Month! 🩶❤️
Mr. Rodney Lee earned his undergraduate degree from Hampton University and his graduate degree from UMES. His most recent accomplishment is earning National Board Certification.
In the words of Mr. Lee: “I tried to resist becoming an educator, I come from a long line of educators. My sister is the first female and Afro-American principal of Snow Hill High School, and my great uncle served as sole French teacher in my hometown of Williamston, NC for over 20 years. I truly believe that education and teaching is a major part of my calling.”
Words of Advice: Focus on your character and your gift. Use both to spread love in a world full of hate.
🎉🌟 Huge congratulations to all the talented students who secured Gold 🥇 and Silver 🥈 at the Worcester County Media Expo! Your artistic brilliance shines through, inspiring us all. Keep creating, innovating, and sharing your remarkable talents with the world! 🎨🎬 🌟👏

“My inspiration to pursue a career in education was my own elementary school teachers while I was a student. They dedicated their lives to help me achieve and realize my potential and I wanted to do the same for children! A motto that I remember hearing from my early years as an educator, "Only What You Do for Children Will be Remembered."
Reflecting on Worcester Jr. & Sr. High alumni's experiences in segregated schools inspires progress. Honoring their struggles and triumphs acknowledges the history that paved the way for future generations to learn and grow.
Good Luck to our wrestlers as they compete in the 1A/2A East Regionals at Queen Annes County High School. Congratulations to our qualifiers, including our first ever Female Regional Qualifier Zoe Richardson. Good luck to all!

Words of advice I would like to share is, work hard and stay humble, be kind to one another and lastly in the words of Morgan Freeman, accept people as they are, but place them where they belong.
