Salisbury High School is offering a summer freshman academy called The Falcon Experience to help students with the transition to high school. Necessary skills such as using technology, study and organizational skills and expectations of high school students are some of the topics covered. Extended School Year will also be offered this summer and there are currently 48 students who qualify for the program.

SHS Principal Heather Morningstar and Assistant Principal Ryan Yurchick presented a detailed report on the progress of Act 158 - Pathways to Graduation for the Class of 2023.
