Salisbury Panther Basketball Post Season Honors
The Winter Sports Awards program for HS Girls Basketball, HS Boy Basketball, and Cheerleading will take place on Sunday, March 24, at 2:00 pm in the dome.
Blood drive at Salisbury High School Thursday, March 28, 2024 from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
SHS Drama Club will be presenting Our Town by Thorton Wilder March 14 and 15 at 7:00 p.m. and March 17th at 2:00 p.m. Our Town is an American classic that explores life, love, and death in a small town. Set at the turn of the century, the stage manager (Sam Henke) navigates the audience through the love story of two young adults, George (Davis Conway) and Emily (Annie Nugent). The play is sure to evoke emotions in the audience and make viewers think about this thing we do every day called living. This play is definitely a drama and has allowed actors/actresses to take their acting a few steps further than the comedies that the club often performs. The club hopes that you attend their production and thanks the community for the continued support of the high school theater program.
Congratulations SHS Panthers! SES is so proud of YOU! #PantherPRIDE
