Vision Statement: St. Malachy’s Memorial High School is committed to educating the whole person.  Through a rigorous and comprehensive program of studies we prepare students academically, socially and morally to assume their places as conscientious, involved and contributing members of society.

Thank you to our SRC President Julia Evans, members of the SRC Executive and Faculty Advisors Ms. Katherine Branscombe and Mrs. Rebecca Thompson for an exciting, high-energy “Welcome Back” assembly.  The assembly was enjoyed by all!!

Thanks to all parents who attended our Meet the Teacher / PSSC Information evening – Tuesday, September 11.  It was wonderful to see many familiar faces and also wonderful to meet many parents/guardians of the latest members of the STM family – the grade 9 students – members of the class of 2022.

I would like to emphasize with students and parents again that regular attendance and being on time for class is very important and is very much connected with student success.
