Salem Academy

Our A Capella student singers are thrilled to announce the release of two new singles, now available on streaming platforms worldwide!

For our summer 2026 releases, the group tackled two beloved tracks: "Where Have You Been?" originally written and recorded by Kelly Clarkson, and "Can't Help Falling in Love," the classic Elvis favorite reimagined by Kacey Musgraves. Both songs were custom arranged by Travis Murray and recorded and mixed by Music Director Dr. Mike Fitch.

Search for Salem Academy A Ca****la Singers on your favorite music service to find these two new releases, and be sure to explore our prior audio recordings while you are there!

Before crossing the stage this spring, the Class of 2026 took their final Salem adventure to New Mexico as part of their 2026 Maymester class trip.

Steeped in art, history, and wide open skies, the Land of Enchantment offered the perfect backdrop for this last hurrah together. From ancient pueblos to river rapids to starlit skies, these young women showed up curious, connected, and ready for everything ahead. We are so proud of them!

Congratulations to Addison '26, this year's Faculty Award recipient, the only honor presented at Commencement!

Her influence is not measured by the volume of activities, but by the presence of her spirit. In every space she enters, she leads quietly and consistently, putting others first while staying rooted in her own convictions.

The faculty and staff see in Addison the very qualities that define the spirit of Salem Academy: integrity, compassion, courage, leadership, and a heart devoted to serving others.

Our Class of 2026 is heading out into the world in a big way! These outstanding seniors will attend 18 colleges and universities across 10 states, Ireland, and Canada.

On top of that, they shattered records by earning $6,538,612 million in scholarship offers based on academic merit and special talent. Congratulations to the Class of 2026! We could not be more proud of each and every one of you!

What an incredible day at Salem Academy! Our Class of 2026 graduated this morning, crossing the stage, turning their tassels, and writing the final page of their Salem story. What a story it has been!

Huge congratulations to our student speakers, first-honor graduate Grace '26 and second-honor graduate Samantha '26, whose speeches reminded us to live fearlessly, be open to new opportunities, and stay curious.

Class of 2026, you have grown in ways big and small, seen and unseen, and now you carry Salem with you wherever life leads next. We are endlessly proud of all your accomplishments. Now, go light up the world!

This morning's Recognition Ceremony was a wonderful celebration of our Salem Academy community! We presented the Service to Salem Award to two exceptional seniors, Josie ‘26 and Grace '26, whose dedication and contributions have left a meaningful mark on our school.

We also took time to honor two remarkable faculty members: Dr. Christopher Clary, recipient of the Joel Weston Award for Faculty and Staff Excellence, and Ms. Felecia Penn A'03, recipient of the Elsie Nunn Head of School Award. Both are recognized for the immeasurable difference they make in the lives of our students.

Congratulations to all of our honorees; your achievements and dedication inspire us all!

Launching into the future! The Class of 2026 is ready to explore new worlds and chart their new adventures. While they maybe sporting new college colors, their purple and gold spirit will travel with them to infinity and beyond.
