Spirit Of Salmen High


Remember those spirit ribbons we used to buy to show our school spirit??? Thank goodness Jamie Dale-Justice had some safely tucked away to share with us.




When Katrina destroyed Salmen High School not only were the current students upset but so were many of its alumni. We remember the dances we held in the cafeteria or the pep rallies in the gym to pump our spirits up before the big game. We would never see these familiar places as they once were. But our memories live on.........

Unfortunately the Salmen we knew and grew to love had to be demolished.

Even though Salmen High does not exist as before, it will rise once again. At this moment Salmen High consists of portable buildings for the current students. But our beloved school is in the process of being rebuilt bigger, better and above all, HIGHER... We look forward to Salmen's rebirth. Go Spartans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
