THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, November 8, 2019 Page 9 Malden Catholic welcomes more than 250 future Lancers at Open House M alden Catholic High School had its largest Open House in more than seven years, welcoming over 250 future Lancers on Sunday, October 27. This was the school’s largest attendance for a single-day event. As they entered through the doors of 99 Crystal St. in Malden, prospective students and their parents were greeted by a team of Malden Catholic students, parents and alumni who were there to answer questions, organize tour groups and ensure the beginning of an overall exciting day. Headmaster John Thornburg kicked off the Open House with a presentation for families and prospective students and emphasized the fact that historically Malden Catholic graduates have produced tremendously successful outcomes post-graduation. “Malden Catholic graduates graduate from four-year colleges at a rate that is 50 percent higher than the national average,” stated Thornburg. “The average Malden Catholic graduate passes more Advanced Placement tests than 97 percent all public high schools north of Boston.” Richard LeBranti (’94), founder of Doble LeBranti Financial Group, shared stories regarding his personal accomplishments and credited his Malden Catholic education for much of his success in life. Thornburg reinforced that Malden Catholic is one of the only schools in the country that has a distinct boys and girls division under one institution, and that after school hours are completed, boys and girls have the chance to partake in competitive athletics and a wide array of shared extracurricular and service activities.
