The Salem High School Internship Program needs your help!

We are urgently looking for local law offices, medical estheticians, and spas willing to host a student intern for our upcoming semester (September to mid-January).

This is a minimal commitment of just one hour a day or every other day, but it makes a massive difference in a student's future.

CALL TO ACTION: If you own a business, work at one, or know someone who does, please send us a direct message or comment below right now to help us connect! You can connect with our Career Connected Learning Coordinator, Stacey Kallelis, at [email protected]

Last week, Salem High School's Criminal Justice ELO class successfully presented their impressive final project to their course instructor, school counselors, the CTE director, and officers from the Salem Police Department. The presentation was engaging and served as the culmination of all their hard work this year, earning each student valuable college credit through Nashua Community College. This incredible milestone would not have been possible without a strong community network, and we want to extend a special thank you to Michael Stark, Director of Criminal Justice at Nashua Community College, and the Salem Police Department for their unwavering support. We also want to share our deepest gratitude for Career Connected Learning Coordinator Stacey Kallelis, whose dedication in organizing this program each year creates such unforgettable, real-world opportunities for our students. Congratulations to all the students on this outstanding achievement!

On Monday, a select group of talented students representing all 12 programs at the Salem CTE Center traveled to Georgia to compete in the prestigious SkillsUSA national competition. They are joining thousands of peers at SkillsUSA’s National Leadership & Skills Conference (NLSC) in Atlanta, which stands as the largest gathering of America’s future skilled workforce and the ultimate recognition of excellence in career and technical education.

Held each June, this week-long event is a massive celebration of the skilled trades and the incredible accomplishments of career-ready leaders from across the United States. The conference brings together more than 19,000 attendees, including students, instructors, administrators, government officials, and industry partners. The absolute highlight of the week is the SkillsUSA Championships, where more than 6,500 state champions go head-to-head, competing for national gold, silver, and bronze medals across 114 distinct skilled and leadership competitions.

We are incredibly proud of our Salem CTE students as they showcase their skills on this massive national stage, and we want to extend a huge thank you to Mr. Hazel for organizing this incredible trip, as well as to the chaperones who volunteered their time to support these students.

Salem CTE Completer Ceremony

Yesterday was an incredibly proud and historic day at the Salem CTE Center as we celebrated our first annual CTE Completer ceremony. More than 215 dedicated students from Salem, Pelham, Timberlane, and Windham High Schools were honored for completing four semesters of a Career and Technical Education program. Each student was recognized with a certificate and a special pin to wear proudly on graduation day, symbolizing two or more years of hard work, hands-on learning, and perseverance. It was an exceptionally meaningful moment for our CTE teachers, who have mentored and watched these students grow throughout their multi-year journeys. Congratulations to all of our completers on reaching this remarkable milestone, and thank you to the educators and families who supported them every step of the way.

Today was an incredible learning experience for many students from the Salem CTE Center as our Health Science EMT program hosted a Mock Mass Casualty event. This large-scale simulation brought together students from multiple programs, including cosmetology, TV media, the Criminal Justice ELO program, the Fire Science ELO program, Health Science LNA program, and Teacher Prep, who all worked collaboratively to create a realistic scenario so the EMT students could practice their learned skills in a high-pressure environment.

We are profoundly grateful for the vital support and collaboration from the Salem Fire Department and the Salem Police Department. A special thank you goes out to our local first responders for coming to guide our students, sharing their expertise, and helping to shape the next generation of emergency professionals.

Last night at the Salem School District school board meeting, we had the absolute pleasure of watching Sarah Mitchell, an incredibly talented student from our Salem CTE Center graphic design program, receive well-deserved recognition for her outstanding work. Sarah designed the fantastic "See Something, Say Something" posters that are currently hanging throughout the halls of Salem High School. It is inspiring to see our students using the real-world skills they develop at the CTE Center to make a meaningful, positive impact right here in our own school community.

Please join us in congratulating Sarah on this special honor, as we are all incredibly proud of her hard work, creativity, and dedication to keeping our school safe.
