The Salem High School Alumni Association has a database of more than 20,000 alumni dating back to the first graduating class of 1865.

Consider a memorial donation which help fund our scholarships for the benefit of future alumni.

Memorial Society recognition is bestowed on individuals or families who have given or bequeathed funds or for whom memorial donations have been made totaling at least $10,000 but less than $100,000.

Named Scholarships and higher-levels of recognition are bestowed for donations of $100,000 or more.

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.
