Salem High School

I attended two different schools in the Walthall County School District. Of the two, I preferred and is a proud graduate of Salem. I loved the teachers. They went out of their way to make sure that each student was learning in a calm, safe environment. The principal of the school is amazing. He's quite strict on the students, but aren't principals supposed to be? Every one of us had the utmost respect for him because we knew he wanted us to be successful, not only in the classroom but outside as well. I will say parental involvement is lacking at this school. I know teachers reach out to parents, but many of the parents rarely and sometimes never even visit their child's classroom. I've often heard people make comments about how Salem allows their students to do whatever they please. That is far from the truth. They document EVERYTHING! I remember a student being sent to ISS for not wearing a belt. Everyone follows the rules and does things by the book. It amazes me to see that even though the school has has been degraded by outsiders for so long now, the students, teachers, administrators, and all other faculty stay united!

I have two daughters that attend Salem. Salem is a good school to attend. Mr. Boyd the principal work well the students. Just a concern parent.

Salem is a wonderful school, I know this from personal experience. I attended there from 1977-1989. It may be small, but it has a wonderful principal and teachers. Students are able to receive more one on one from the teachers. Students also have more of an oppurtunity to play sports, attend band, etc. I also send my own to children there, I am very pleased with this school ! **Go Wildcats** Tonia Planche

I went to salem for two years. Its an ok school. Learning is really good over here. Most of the teachers are great. The only problem I had was the students. IThey are very stuck up and do nothing but fight. There needs to be alot more discipline.

Best school in Walthall County. Great teachers. The kids at this school are there because of parents trying to make sure they are getting a high quality of education and discipline that is lacking in the other schools in the county.

Salem is a horrible school. They do not teach good morals at all at this place. They are very low on the technology level. I do not recommend this school to send your child to.

Salem is a real good school with a great learning environment. I would recommend Salem over any school in Walthall County. There are great faculty and staff members at Salem. Salem is a school that strive for excellence. Without a doubt Salem would be my first choice of education for my child in Walthall County.
