Welcome to Salem Public School District, where transformative education and immersive learning are at the heart of what we offer to our staff, students, and families. Located at 29 Highland Avenue, Salem, Massachusetts, we are committed to creating a diverse and welcoming community that fosters each student’s academic, social, emotional, and physical development. Our mission is to deliver equitable, challenging, and joyful learning experiences that empower all students to pursue personalized paths to success while upholding a commitment to the common good.

Under the visionary leadership of Dr. Stephen Zrike, Jr., Salem Public Schools is dedicated to advancing educational excellence through a strategic plan for 2023-26. This plan prioritizes recognizing every student’s potential and offers opportunities for them to express their voices, stories, and talents through student-centered programming. Our district and school improvement plans are designed to ensure high-quality learning experiences that lead to success in school and beyond.

We invite you to explore our commitment to equity, belonging, and kindness, as well as our strategic initiatives that guide our future.

For families looking to join our community, we offer comprehensive information on student registration, including processes for enrolling in pre-K, Kindergarten, and the ParentChild Program. Our district provides support for non-English speaking families and ensures language access for all.

Safety is a top priority for Salem Public Schools. A recent resolution passed by the School Committee emphasizes our dedication to preventing gun violence through leadership, information sharing, and community education.
