Salem Schools Co-op Agreement
Since East Lyme High School's founding in 1967, students from the neighboring town of Salem have attended East Lyme High School from grades 9 through 12, due to Salem lacking a high school of their own. In 1997, East Lyme High School was formally recognized as the official high school of Salem Public Schools after an official agreement was established between the two towns.
