STEPHEN DECATUR MIDDLE SCHOOL

Our students are truly fortunate to have the chance to explore a wide range of college and career opportunities available right here in our community!

Good Morning Bulldog Families! 💙🖤🐾 When you visit your students for American Education Week, don't forget we have two drives going on! Operation We Care and the Samaritan Shelter.

The Pocomoke Indian Nation is sharing with SDMS their traveling pop-up museum that brings to life their tribe’s culture, history, and heritage directly to schools. This hands-on exhibit is designed to support our challenge of limited local Indigenous resources and limited time for research.
To make learning accessible and engaging, this collection has high-quality primary sources, credible secondary sources, replica-based learning activities, supporting videography, and more.
The pop-up museum features safe, touch-friendly artisan replicas, including:
Leather moccasins
A hand drum
A traditional rattle
A beaver pelt
We are honored to host this learning experience at our school and share the rich cultural story of the Pocomoke people.
Additionally, we are proud to share that the Maryland Department of Transportation unveiled a historic road sign recognizing the Pocomoke Indian Nation at the Maryland Rest Stop in Pocomoke City last Wednesday, November 12.

Today at Stephen Decatur Middle we are honoring those who have served our country. A Big thanks to Mr. Greg Tyndall our PLTW teacher and Ms. Katie Maldonado, one of our social workers. 🇺🇸
