On Tuesday, November 11, 2025, a member of the Licking VFW Post 6337 met with Officers of the Salem High School FFA Chapter. Post Commander Billie Krewson presented SHS FFA Chapter President James Heithold and fellow officers with a check for $1,000 to help promote academic excellence. The Salem FFA Chapter helps to develop young men and women for the future. These students are taught and experience a multitude of real-world skills that they will use in everyday life. Students learn responsibility (both individually and as a group), public speaking, business skills, and community service, among others. Mrs. Heather Johnson and Mr. Dalton Sanders spend countless hours in and out of the classroom to ensure students are prepared and well-rounded for the future.
