History: 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, one avoided shooting and is one of the many schools to monitor the recent MySpace phenomenon, suspending 10 cheerleaders for drinking.
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 2008, and is in the process of building its own school. Students in the graduating class of 2009 may have the choice of going to the Windham or Salem High School, but there is some debate over this.
