A sumptuous full course meal was followed by a night of dancing, socializing and lots of smiles and fun for those in attendance on Wednesday, May 21. Oh, and photos, lots of photos! The signature night went off without a hitch, according to eighth-year Malden High School Principal Chris Mastrangelo, who was in attendance along with his full administrative team and lots of MHS staff chaperones. “It was a great night for all who attended,” Mastrangelo said. “The planning was done so well and that’s a credit to the Class of 2025 Advisors Courtney Braz and Bobby Grinnell. They and the Class Officers have worked so hard to have made the Senior Prom such a special event.” The evening started with a well-attended “Red Carpet” entrance event where many of the attendees came to the school and “walked the walk” in their prom finery. The unexpected wet weather presented a bit of challenge but there were the MHS House Principals to walk the promgoers down the stairs from Salem Street with umbrellas to make sure they were kept fairly dry. “For our Schools Superintendent, it was his first time seeing the Red Carpet Walk,” Mastrangelo said of Malden Public Schools Superintendent Timothy Sippel, Ed.L.D. “Dr. Sippel said he had never seen anything like it and was very happy for all the promgoers … to be able to participate in such a special event.” Afterwards, the nearly 200 Red Carpet walk attendees made their way to The Gallery inside the school for some snacks and some more photos. The snack tables and mini-reception were hosted by the members of the MHS Junior Class of 2026. The Class of 2026 juniors, led by Class Advisor Nancy Wentworth, also took the time to “install” the Red Carpet from Salem Street, down the steps and into the school grounds, before the walk. “We thank our juniors and their advisor for the extra time and care they took to help make the evening special for our promgoers,” MHS Principal Mastrangelo said. From the school, the attendees Nate Sullivan and Isaac Pineda were greeted by Class Co-Advisor Bobby Grinnell at Danversport.

After the prom, the attendees were returned to the high school, where school administrators waited until all attendees were picked up by family members and caregivers. “Everyone had a great time and once again, the staff at the venue and the police officers from the detail made it a point to tell us how well-behaved and cordial our students were at the Senior Prom,” Mastrangelo said. “They said it would a pleasure to have us back next year.” *** Senior Prom kicked off Senior Week; Graduation Day is Sunday, June 1 The Senior Prom kicked off a whirlwind of events for Senior Week, which culminates in “The Big One,” the Class of 2025 Graduation Day, which is set for this Sunday, June 1 at Macdonald Stadium at 2:00 p.m. Malden High School Senior Prom 2025 was a Great Night!
