SALEM — The beginning of the school year brought many new changes to Salem High, ranging from stricter policies to construction. But most of all, Salem High has a number of new faces working in the building. One of those faces is Mr. William Shevory, the new dean of the Turner House. Several students have noted that Shevory is strict, but with the change of stricter policies, stricter enforcement most accompany them.
Shevory attended UMass Amerherst and majored in mechanical engineering. Shevory has experience working in school environments in areas such as Boston, Westwood, and Marblehead. He worked as a teacher for 13 years, teaching physics. He's also been an assistant principal for half a year, which is a similar position to a dean. He currently lives close by and has four sons.
About his new working environment, Shevory says, "Salem High is a very good school, there are a lot of great things here such as diversity, activities, the academics are good and there is great faculty and staff." His goal as dean at Salem High is to help students achieve to the fullest extent of education, and to succeed at Salem High as well as in life.
