Salisbury at 125 Years
Throughout the 2026-2027 school year, Salisbury School will proudly commemorate its Quasquicentennial—125 years of graduating men of character and promise.
Since our founding in 1901, Salisbury has remained steadfast in its mission, blending time-honored traditions with a forward-looking vision for the modern world. Whether in the classroom, on the athletic fields, or gathered in the Chapel, generations of Salisbury Knights have lived by our motto, Esse Quam Videri—to be rather than to seem to be.
125th Anniversary Celebrations
We invite our alumni, families, and friends to join us as we reflect on our storied history and look ahead to Salisbury’s next 125 years.

A MARK FOR THE MOMENT
To commemorate Salisbury School’s 125th anniversary, we have introduced a special quasquicentennial mark featuring the iconic Main Building cupola.
This mark is a tribute to Salisbury’s rich history, the "Hilltop" traditions, and the enduring spirit of the Brotherhood. While it will be featured throughout our anniversary celebrations, it is a temporary emblem created specifically for this milestone year. It does not replace Salisbury School’s official brand but serves as a visual tribute to this once-in-a-lifetime moment in our history.
In addition to our primary anniversary emblems, we have developed a dedicated athletic mark featuring our signature block "S." This version was designed specifically for our athletic teams and programs throughout the year.
