• History & Memorable Moments

The original high school for the town of Salem was Woodbury High School. In the 1960s it was converted to a middle school, and the current building was built. In its existence the school has had one bomb threat and two avoided shootings. Just recently the cheerleading team has won in New Englands the second year in a row and on the same day the boys basketball team won in the basketball championships. The school has recently suffered from overcrowding, leading administrators to place portable classrooms on the campus. Windham is scheduled to stop attending the school in 2009, and is in the process of building its own high school. The high school for Windham, however, is taking longer than expected. Students in the graduating class of 2010 may have the choice of going to the Windham or Salem High School, but there is some debate over this. ^[1]

The school has various traditions that include the video yearbook in which many of the students are showcased in one way or another. The Video Yearbook is one of the best in the nation, and has guest starred Jon Stewart, Jay Leno, Bob Barker, Jerry Springer, Regis Philbin, Tim Conway, and many others! Senior Safe Night, the Senior Skits, Carbaret- a marching band fundraiser, A Night of Magic- The Key Club's yearly fundraiser for the Make A Wish Foundation that is also a place to showcase students' talents as the entertainment, and food drives every semester. Senior Safe Night started when students decided to camp out at the high school and chaperones were eventually called for when students were believed to be involved in illicit behavior in their tents. It has grown from a student-led initiative to one run by members of the communities- many of whom are parents of children in the high school- who want to make sure the seniors can have one last night to hang out before graduation in an environment in which there are no drugs or alcohol. There are usually door prizes and a massive yearbook signing towards the beginning of the night when teachers are there to wish the students fun on their night in. ^[1]
