Salida High School may be slightly small compared to schools in California. Class of 2007 had 250 students. It is the only high school in the tiny town of Salida, Colorado. There is a majority of the class that is related to each other and most everyone grew up knowing each other. So there is no need to learn names. It is the high school my mother, aunts and uncles attended back in the 40's. Up until recently, the board decided to remodel the whole school including the grounds. When I was in school, everything was very old and falling apart before my eyes. Sometimes it became dangerous hoping the roof wouldn’t fall in. It was quiet an experience. The teachers were wonderful and made the students feel a positive vibe and support (they were always there for you). Our school is very involved in community service activities. Triathlons Park clean up etc. A club called Key Club put on these community service projects. Salida High School is a small, yet very close knit with a big heart for the community.
