| Parents,
Teachers, Students, and Friends:
Welcome
to Salem Middle School, home of the “Sharks.” Salem
Middle was founded in 1988 and is located in the Kempsville section
of Virginia Beach. We serve approximately 1100 students with more
than 120 faculty and staff members.
The
faculty, staff, parents, and community of Salem Middle seek to provide
the highest quality education for our young citizens. Our motto,
“Shaping Tomorrow’s Future,” is a shared commitment
and evident in our daily practices and work with students. This
shared commitment is also present in our mission statement which
pledges that, “in cooperation with the family and the community,
we will educate and provide each student with the opportunity to
realize his/her potential and develop into an ethical, contributing
member of a changing society.”
Salem
Middle is proud to be recognized as a fully accredited school by
the Commonwealth of Virginia. Our success is attributed to the strong
foundations established in the areas of staff, student, and community
involvement, high expectations, strong student attendance, and outstanding
instruction.
I challenge
each student to become an active member of the school community,
strive to exceed his or her academic potential, and exhibit the
highest standards of citizenship. I look forward to working with
each of you this school year.
Dr. Soltner
Principal
