A NOTE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT
Dear Students & Families,
I am very excited to welcome you back to the 2023-2024 school year! The beginning of the school year always holds so much promise, with our students, faculty, and staff all ready to get this year of learning underway.
WORCESTER COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION
Every member of Worcester County Public Schools has been hard at work throughout the summer months to ensure our schools were ready to welcome our students back for their day of school. We have held rigorous professional development for our teachers and administrators to enhance instructional practices and technological competency as well as ensured our staff is ready to support students’ mental health and behavioral needs.
Our support staff have also been busy as they ensure our buildings are safe, secure, and welcoming to every student and visitor that enters our halls. And, lastly, at the county level, we have been working diligently to begin implementation of the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future, a comprehensive new strategic direction for all Maryland schools to transform learning for this and future generations of learners. If you are interested in learning more about the Blueprint and how Worcester is implementing this landmark legislation, please visit https://tinyurl.com/WCBlueprint.
The Worcester County Board of Education is comprised of seven members who are elected (by district) by the voters of Worcester County. The term of office is four years. In addition, the Board has three non-voting student members who represent each high school. Board members elect a president and vice president from among the membership.
2023 BOARD OF EDUCATION MEMBERS
President: Todd A. Ferrante, District 7
Vice President: William E. Buchanan, District 1
Katie A. Addis, District 6
Jon M. Andes, Ed.D., District 3
William L. Gordy, District 4
Elena J. McComas, District 5
Donald C. Smack, Sr., District 2
Treston Melvin, Student Representative - Pocomoke High School
Catalina Luzader, Student Representative - Snow Hill High School
Deliyah Holland, Student Representative - Stephen Decatur High School
In Worcester, we are a team: a team that is working together toward the same goal: helping our students realize their future success by providing the best educational experience possible. As we do our part, we hope you will join us. We ask that you simply continue to build excitement and encourage a positive attitude about school with your child, while also reinforcing the importance of regular attendance at school and how demonstrating perseverance and grit with their classwork remains critically important well beyond that first day of school.
Again, on behalf of the Board of Education and the entire faculty and staff of Worcester County Public Schools, we thank you for your support, and look forward to working together to help your child(ren) realize success this year.
All the Best for a Successful School Year,
Louis H. Taylor, Superintendent of Schools
