My experience with salem high school hasn't always been fun but a lot of it has been enjoyable. At Salem high school we have weekly assemblies where we have class competitions. We play games and try to earn as much points as we can so we can win the class cup at the end of the year. The teachers there make learning easy because they know how to connect with kids. There for my over all high school experience has been kind of fun but very entertaining.
