On Monday, MHS principal Chris Mastrangelo made a formal proposal to rename the Pathways Program the “Ron Janowicz House.” “Over his 42 years in education he has been a champion for all students, particularly students who had significant roadblocks in their lives,” Mastrangelo said of Janowicz, in making his request. “Mr. J would do whatever it took to see that kids were successful.” “He would meet them in their houses, the library, a coffee shop, or the hospital. He created after school hours to meet the needs of the kids,” Mastrangelo added. “His positive outlook on life is contagious and the genuine care for his students is evident.” To measure the size of the honor proposed for the outgoing Janowicz, the existing four houses at MHS are named Boyle, Brunelli, Holland and Jenkins. Boyle House named for Arthur P. Boyle The Boyle House is named in honor of former longtime headmaster Arthur P. Boyle, who led the school from the end of the 1960s through the early 1980s, as well as leading the boys’ basketball team to a pair of state titles. The newest MHS building bears his name as well. The Brunelli House is named for Donald Brunelli, a former teacher, department head, coach and class advisor, who died suddenly at age 41 back in 1993. The oldest-standing MHS building bears his name as well. Holland House is named for Marguerite Holland, an influential Malden School Committee member from the 1950s through the early 1970s and mother of former Superintendent of Schools Dr. George Holland. Jenkins House (and the Jenkins Auditorium) are named for Thornton Jenkins, the longest-serving MHS principal in school history, at the helm 28 years (and parts of two World Wars), from 1915-1943. Malden Superintendent of Schools John Oteri also had high praise for Janowicz at Monday’s meeting. “Personally, in my 30 years in the field of education, Ron Janowicz is one of the top two or three people I have met who has worked with students to the level of effectiveness he has had,” Supt. Oteri said. “He [Janowicz] will be an incredibly difficult act to follow. His name is synonymous with the Pathways Program. His dedication, patience and passion for our students is nothing short of inspiring,” Supt. Oteri added. Janowicz came to the Malden schools in 1982 after four years as a special education teacher and sports coach in New Hampshire. He was hired to design and develop the Malden High School Alternative Program. After 10 years of leading the program, then housed off-site of MHS on Jackson Street in Malden Square, he moved on to create the transitions program at Malden High School, which he ran until 2010. In 2010 the Pathways Program began at Malden High School under Janowicz’s direction. A long reach of influence for Janowicz MHS principal Mastrangelo told the members of the sheer reach of Janowicz’s influence of his nearly four decades with the Malden Public Schools. “During his time in Malden [Janowicz] has worked with thousands of students. He remembers their names, their stories, their disappointments and their accomplishments,” Mastrangelo said. “Countless numbers of students have earned their diplomas because of his efforts and support. He has served as a mentor for all students, teachers and administrators. Beyond that, he has PATHWAYS | SEE PAGE 12 Summer is Here!
