On May 1, 2020, the Salem High School Alumni Association awarded 98 scholarships totaling $318,250 to recent graduates, postsecondary students, and current Salem High School students.

Our database includes 20,000 alumni from as far back as the first graduation class of 1865.

We also have an extensive collection of Salem High School yearbooks back to 1893 both online and at our office.

Thank you to all who have supported our "Building for the Future" campaign to keep memories alive in downtown Salem.

We have successfully replaced the building's deteriorating front foundation and façade.

These repairs, along with renovation of the second floor, will assist in providing a welcoming and safe environment where alumni can gather and where high school memorabilia can be displayed. We invite you to visit.

Although recognition for donations ended in 2019, we are still welcoming donations toward the project.
