Salem High School Honored Alumni

The tradition of naming an honored alumnus began in 1958.

The award is given yearly at the Annual Reunion Banquet of the Salem High School Alumni Association.

The Salem High School Alumni Association would like to give all alumni the opportunity to nominate a graduate of Salem High School as the honored alumnus for the coming year.
