Stephanie Nichols, Dean of Students for Upperclassmen A-K, is excited to be joining the Salem High School family and is looking forward to being part of a community with such a rich history. Stephanie has been an educator for 15 years and  is coming to us most recently from Bedford High School where she was a member of the Leadership Team as the Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate Program Coordinator. She is eager to learn all things Salem and looks forward to working with students and staff to continue Salem’s reputation for excellence and pride. Stephanie lives in Bedford, NH with her husband Matt and two children Emmie (6) and Bodie (5).  In her free time, Stephanie loves to read, decorate sugar cookies, and watch anything on Bravo.


Harrison Little is excited to be joining the SHS staff as the Freshmen Dean. He looks forward to revisiting the classics in English 9, checking out the trails with the cross country team, and hearing about the latest and greatest in TicToc from the Class of ‘27! Harrison has spent the last twenty years working in schools across the states of Maine, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. He was most recently the principal of an elementary school in the Mascoma Valley Regional School District, in the west/central portion of the state. Residing in Concord, Harrison enjoys cycling, trail running, skiing, and hiking - he’s bagged each of NH’s 4,000 footers as well as the 52 with a View. And he never tires of hearing new (school appropriate) jokes.


Angelica (“Kecha”) Mahoney, Dean of Students for upperclassmen (L - Z), is excited to be a part of the Salem High School community. Her background includes working as a speech/language pathologist, special education administrator and school administrator in New Hampshire’s schools for the past 38 years. During that time she has accumulated some fun and interesting stories to share and looks forward to hearing your stories in the years ahead! Kecha has three grown children (Kate, Becky and Caleb) and lives in Exeter with her husband (Bill) and son. Kecha enjoys family time with her husband, 3 children and 2 grandchildren. When they can, Kecha and her husband enjoy traveling. They have explored Iceland, Germany, Norway, and Greece. Most recently Kecha and her husband adventured in Alaska.
