History:The Salem public School district dates back over 200 years ago to 1798 when the town of Salem built their first public school house in Salem, NH. The School house was the only School for many towns around and children from all over came to learn and study there. Nearly 30 years after the completion of the first Salem School House in 1825 the Salem school district of Salem, NH was established. Though they had the salem school district no more schools were constructed until the late 1950’s and 60’s to accommodate the growing population. The names and dates of the completed construction of the current schools in the Salem, NH school district are, The Barron in 1967, the Fisk in 1957, the Haigh in 1954, Lancaster 1967, North Salem 1967, and Soule in 1962 these are the elementary schools currently in the Salem school district today all of these school besides the Lancaster and North Salem have undergone at least one expansion since there completion. After many years of thought and need for a secondary school the Woodbury High school was founded in 1925 as Salem, NH’s first high school. The school was renovated five times the last of these expansions took place in1995. With all of the renovations put into the school its capacity turned out at a decent 1200.
