We will return with in-person instruction on Monday March 29th. Whether you are travelling across the country or having a staycation, I hope Spring Break brings rest, relaxation and many Free Smiles for everyone. Roar Lions!

Salem CS Safe Rooms - Fine Arts Center - STEAM Center

Progress is under way for two major additions to Salem Community Schools and our entire Community. At Salem MS the FEMA Safe Room/STEAM Center (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) and at Salem HS, FEMA Safe Room/Fine Arts Center are moving along quickly.
