The school has a Student Council, which is made up of students and two faculty advisers who work with the administration to solve issues other students may have. Students can join the National Honor Society and the Tri-M, Music Honor Society, in which students can apply during their junior or senior year, along with the National Art Honor Society and Spanish Honor Society, to which students can apply during their sophomore year. The school also offers a music department, with programs such as the Marching Band, which is commonly known as "The Pride Of The North Shore" and "Witch Pitch?" a talented A capella group that has been active for approximately a decade. [3]

Salem High School is a member of the Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC). "The effects of a Marine Corps JROTC unit extend far beyond the classroom and into the community in developing character, leadership, and civic responsibility. The program makes a difference by keeping kids in school, providing an environment conducive to their personal development and growth, and helping them become productive members of the community."

The City Council in Salem approved a $1,900,000 renovation of the existing Bertram Field, [4] which is named after North Shore Medical Center captain John Bertram. [5]

Over the summer of 2013, there was a complete renovation of the entire Bertram Field complex. Construction crews installed a new artificial turf field, a track for running, a scoreboard, and a flagpole. This was an important investment because the field is used by the Salem High School athletics program, in addition to various youth sports programs across from the City of Salem.

2018 resignation of longstanding principal

After a total of 23 years at Salem High School with 12 of those years as principal of the school, David Angeramo resigned as principal to become associate head of school at St. Mary's High School in Lynn. According to the Superintendent of Salem Public Schools, Margarita Ruiz, he was well-liked during his time at the school, and his sudden departure was saddening for various students, teachers and parents.
