Salem High School Hall of Fame
Salem High School Hall of Fame
A subcommittee of the School Committee held a series of meetings in 2012 to revamp the way athletes got into the High School Hall of Fame. A new inclusiveness to the committee is being encouraged. The changes come after a long period of failed attempts to get former Salem High football coach Ken Perrone into the athletic hall of fame. Although tied for the most victories in school football history, Perrone has never been enshrined. He was at the center of a controversy during the 1994 teachers' strike when defying orders to not play the game.
