Good Afternoon,

We are anxiously awaiting the return and official opening of the 2023 - 2024 school-year. Our dedicated staff have worked all summer to prepare engaging activities that will prepare our scholars for their college and career choices.

It is our mission to equip scholars with the knowledge and transferable skills necessary to achieve their goals. Parent and guardian involvement is not only welcome but an integral part of the student experience at Salem High School.

Grade 9 scholars will begin school this Monday, 8/28/23 and grade 10 -12 will begin on Tuesday, 8/29/23. It is important that our scholars are on time to school. Consistently missing time first period will have a detrimental impact on success and maintaining a trajectory to accomplish goals and meet milestones.

School Hours: 7:45 - 2:35

School Site Council:

I am looking for parents/guardians that would like to volunteer to be part of the Salem High School Council. This group will consist of administration, staff, parents, and scholars to look at important issues, initiatives, challenges and guide Salem High School forward.

Bus Passes:

Scholars will receive their bus pass the first week of school.

Schedules:

There will be time for scholars to meet with their counselors the first three days of schools to adjust their schedules if needed. We will go over this in crew on day one.

I look forward to seeing you all, and please feel free to reach out if you have any questions, gburns@salemk12.org

Be About It,

Glenn

8/29/23 - 8/31/23 Schedules can be found below. Our scholars can access their schedule through the Aspen Portal. If a scholar can not access their schedule to learn of what crew they are in we will have printed schedules in the lobby of Salem High School.

Campus Life

From athletics to coffeehouse shows and cultural events, there are "multiple things to do on campus every day." Many people take advantage of the gym and the classes it offers, or "hang out on the Great Lawn and play Frisbee and other similar games." Students "sometimes have to wait a long time for their next class" so the school provides "too many extracurricular activities to count" to help time pass. There are clubs to represent "almost every racial, religious and interest group" and "there's never a day where there isn't anything to do." Basketball season is a huge rally booster (the men's team plays some games at Madison Square Garden), and St. John's also hosts "many great events on off days such as family day, picnics, barbecues, and more." There are a fair number of commuters, and those who live on campus often venture into the city to "enjoy the fast pace and vibrant life of New York City." Between "the spring carnival, the free commuter breakfasts, and reduced prices on movie tickets, [and] Broadway shows, St. John's wants their students' experience to be unforgettable."
