Salem Hills High School is the first new high school to be built in Nebo School District in over 100 years. Ground breaking ceremonies were held on December 4, 2006, and we opened our doors in August of 2008, while finishing touches continued. Building this school profile began when the announcement was made that Salem would be the home of a new high school in the 2008-09 school year.

Members of the Nebo School District Board of Education, architects, laborers, students, teachers, parents and visitors contributed to the positive feeling that pervades Salem Hills High School today. From that time until now, each person who has been involved in breaking ground, building the physical facility, hiring faculty and staff, purchasing equipment, setting policy and practice, and the myriad other responsibilities that have gone into creating not only a new school, but creating traditions, has had an impact on who we are.

Many people get excited when talking about Salem Hills High School--because they have played a part in creating it. The citizens of Salem City, or Pond Town as it was called early on in its establishment, were vocal in their desire to have a high school built in their community. The Pond, itself, has been a gathering place for our students on many occasions. This sense of ownership continues to blossom and is a major catalyst in developing our culture, creating a dynamic environment where people feel welcome, safe, challenged and strengthened.

At our first open house, the newly elected Student Council asked a question of our students: "Where are you from?" As students began answering, "from Salem", "from Payson", "from Elk Ridge", "from Woodland Hills", they were stopped and corrected, being encouraged to say with pride, "From Salem Hills". Students and the community were introduced to our Motto: "Spirit, Heart, Honor, Success". We introduced our school chant, "We are Skyhawks!", which took root immediately. Our school song, developed by teachers and members of the community, was taught to the student body. We finished the opening assembly with the School Anthem, written by our choir teacher, and the Fight Song, written by our students, performed by our marching band, and taught to the student body by our cheerleaders
