**Attention class of 2025 - scholarships are consistently being updated and posted on the website and Naviance. Many deadlines are quickly approaching. Please log in and apply, apply, apply. Reach out to your college and career counselor if you need assistance!

As we approach the final stretch of the school year, we are excited to celebrate the Class of 2025 with a variety of senior activities designed to recognize their hard work, accomplishments, and journey through high school.

These events are a time-honored tradition, and we are proud to offer experiences that our seniors will remember for years to come. From senior trips and special assemblies to prom and graduation, each event is a celebration of the commitment and growth these students have shown.

Participation in senior activities is a privilege, and we want to remind all families that students must remain in good academic and behavioral standing to take part in these events. This includes maintaining passing grades, consistent attendance, and upholding our school’s code of conduct.

*** Graduation will take place at Bertram Field this year.

Grade 9-12 students are invited to apply for KidWind Academy, a week-long summer program (July 13-18) to learn about offshore wind and the career opportunities it offers. The program is free, and students earn $100/day for their participation (total: $500).

The program takes place at Mass Maritime Institute. Students live in the dorms while taking classes, engaging in hands-on activities, hearing from guest speakers, and taking field trips to wind facilities.

• Housing, food, transportation all included at no cost to participants
• Deadline to Apply: Friday, Apr. 25 at 4 p.m.
• Learn more at KinWindAcademy.org

If any parent, guardian or student needs support to complete the application for KidWind Academy, contact bbain@salemsafe.org

It’s not an exaggeration to say that no one in the history of Salem High School athletics has been elected a team captain more times than Quinn ‘Rocco’ Ryan.

An unprecedented three-year Witches football captain, Ryan is also a two-year captain in baseball and captained the basketball team this winter. Those six total captaincies illustrate the natural leadership and charisma Ryan has displayed since arriving at Salem High as an eighth grade football player.
