During American Education Week, we celebrate education, inform the community about the importance of our schools, and honor local educators who make a difference in the lives of our students.

Local schools play an essential role in our community's success. With quality education and a supportive learning environment, the students in our community are empowered to reach their full potential and achieve their goals.

“The more our schools succeed, the more successful we become, both individually and as a community,” said City of Salem Mayor Justin Green. “The team supporting our schools is not only made up of educators but also includes staff, administrators, families, and community members who continually invest in the lives of young people. This week, we honor all who contribute to excellence in education in Salem Community Schools.”

As we celebrate American Education Week, take a moment to thank an educator, administrator, employee, or staff member.
