Salmen High School is a public High School in Slidell , Louisiana , under the St. Tammany Parish School Board. HISTORY Salmen was established in 1965 to meet the population growth caused by the Space Race . It originally opened in what is now Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic school. In 1966, the school was moved to the present campus. In the 1965-66 school year, Salmen served grades seven through nine. Each year another grade was added, with the first senior class graduating in 1969. Later the seventh and eigth grades were dropped. Source: About Salmen High School HURRICANE KATRINA assesment showed that more than 51% of the Salmen campus was damaged beyond repair, meaning that everything except the science building would have to be demolished and rebuilt. Even the principal, Byron Williams, was disheartened, but understands that we must move on and rebuild. The new school is supposed to be done by the beginning of the 2008 - 2009 school year. On 17 January , 2006 , Salmen moved into the rebuilt St. Tammany Jr. High School, and is intended to finish the year there. A temporary school is being built for the 2006 - 2007 and 2007 - 2008 school years. Before the storm, Salmen had just over 1000 students. As of 21 February , 2006 about 800 of them have returned.
