Salem High School is ramping up support for seniors as they navigate the college application process, with a series of workshops and events designed to guide students and their families. During the Senior Parent Night on September 30, 2025, school officials highlighted the importance of individualized counseling sessions, which are already underway for students applying for early action or early decision.
Counselors are actively meeting with students to review their post-secondary plans and outline specific next steps. The school has already conducted its first senior counselor workshop, with more scheduled throughout the year to ensure that every student receives tailored guidance.
October is designated as College and Career Month, packed with activities aimed at seniors. Notably, the school will host "I Applied Week," featuring workshops and celebrations focused on college applications and the completion of the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). Principal Barnes will provide updates and information through the school newsletter.
In addition to these workshops, Salem High School plans to offer community events throughout the year, including FAFSA completion nights and scholarship support sessions. These initiatives aim to create a supportive environment for students and their families as they embark on this critical phase of their education.
