The Salem High School Alumni Association carries out its mission to sustain friendships and memories of high school days in many ways. Its database helps graduates stay in touch, and facilitates class reunion efforts. The association's collection preserves SHS mementos, and its newsletter provides information about SHS alumni and association activities. Most importantly, the association awards several dozen scholarships annually to deserving graduates.

Storm damage prompted its permanent closure in 1967. Though the three-story brick building no longer stands, many memories endure among SHS alumni of the lessons learned inside its massive walls.
