Page 12 GRADUATES | FROM PAGE 1 while close to 150 have achieved an Honor Roll GPA of 3.0 or better. Over 80% of this year’s class is headed to either a four-year college or university, a two-year community college or a certificate-granting program. Many Class of 2023 graduates were recipients of financial assistance with their higher learning, the most impressive distinction being the second consecutive year of a $1,000 scholarship being presented by the City of Malden to every Class of 2023 student moving on to higher education. Last year was the first time this had ever been done in city history, and Malden Mayor Gary Christenson triumphantly announced this well-received news at last week’s Senior Scholarship Night held at Malden High. The mayor recalled this generous gesture on behalf of the city once again at Monday’s graduation ceremony. Close to 100 seniors received a total of $78,000 in scholarships at the recent Senior Awards Night. On Monday, Malden High School Scholarship Inc. awarded 33 recipients of $4,000 scholarships, another new high mark, as announced by Trustee Greg Lucey. Mayor Christenson delivered greetings from the City of Malden and in doing so noted that he and the Class of 2023 had something in common. “We both started at the same time,” Mayor Christenson told the graduates, “We both came up together, as you started in school the same year that I began serving as Mayor, in 2012.” Mayor Christenson told the graduates that he and the entire city of Malden had “a great sense of pride in all you have accomplished” and assured them their room for achievement in the future “had no limits.” Malden Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Ligia Noriega-Murphy noted the Class of 2023 had a penchant for positivity. “You really know how to celebrate and today is another great example.” Supt. Noriega-Murphy said, “I am THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, June 9, 2023 that there are others close around happy to have met so many of you in the past, and we are very excited to see how you will succeed in the future.” MHS Principal Chris Mastrangelo spoke of his trademark phrase, said to all students in the morning and afternoon announcements over the PA system: “Do well, be well.” “Do well. This can be done in so many ways. You do well by being your true self. You do well by letting people see you smile when a smile may be the only thing they need to brighten their day. You do well by offering help, not because you think you need to, but because you know you can actually do it. You do well by showing kindness when kindness is needed,” he said. “You can be well by recognizing when you need help and surrounding yourself with people that will provide it for you. Be well by understanding that perfection is impossible but better is obtainable,” Mastrangelo added. “Class of 2023, I want you to shine on the world. Your glow is too bright to be contained to the borders of our great city. Let the world see you. Let it see your greatness, let it see your compassion, and let it see your power. We have kept it a secret for too long. You are ready for the world, I just hope that the world is ready for you,” he added. Top-ranked student and Class Valedictorian Ryan Li spoke of using the resources and assistance available to students. “Just because we triumphed through the toughest years of our life through an unforgettable endeavor does not mean that we can conquer problems alone,” Li said. “Remember to keep your mind open, and believe J& • Reliable Mowing Service • Spring & Fall Cleanups • Mulch & Edging • Sod or Seed Lawns • Shrub Planting & Trimming • Water & Sewer Repairs Joe Pierotti, Jr. you that will come to your aid, no matter if you possess disagreeing opinions. Pushing forward is a very lonely adventure, but finding the right friends that will always support you makes that journey ever nicer.” Meet the Malden High School Class of 2023 On Monday, June 5, the Malden High School Class of 2023 graduated 409 students at the 173rd MHS Commencement Exercises at Macdonald Stadium.
