Mepham High School Salaries

Back in 2017, we had a series of posts celebrating the school's 80th anniversary. The posts were throwbacks of photographs from past Mepham High School yearbooks, articles from the school newspaper, The Buccaneer, and artifacts from the alumni association. Mepham High School has such a rich history and we are lucky enough to be able to share that with you here. 

I recently came across the salary schedule for Mepham High School for faculty from September 1936. Two items really stood out to me. First, there were so few teachers (obviously because there were fewer students back then). Second, do you notice which teacher was paid the most and which teacher was paid the least?

Today school librarians are not part of the clerical staff. In fact, librarians are required to have a Master's Degree in Library Science in New York State. We are in fact teacher-librarians. Schools with librarians and libraries have been shown to increase test scores on standardized tests throughout our country. 

You have fantastic teachers and programs at Mepham High School. We are happy to provide you with opportunities to explore and find your path. The library is here to assist you in this endeavor and to teach you the skills to help you be successful.
