On Nov. 14, Athol High School students in AP Language and Composition and English 11 traveled to Salem in connection with their study of the Salem Witch Trials. Leading up to the trip, students have been reading “The Crucible” by Arthur Miller and making connections with the period of McCarthyism that inspired the play. Students visited the Salem Witch Museum where they saw an immersive show on the Salem Witch Trials and an exhibit on how witchcraft has been viewed over time. Next, students explored the Old Burying Point Cemetery and Witch Trials Memorial. This trip was funded in part by the Athol Royalston Education Foundation.
