St. Malachy's Memorial High School

St Malachy’s first grad class event was a huge success! The “Embrace your Childhood Party” was filled with many fun and exciting games that everyone played as kids. There were approximately 90 Saints who participated at the event. The night began with fun games such as musical chairs, twister, pin the headband on Ms. Horgan and much more! In the cafeteria, hot dogs, cake, and ice cream were served and many Saints won prizes. The first grad event was a night to remember. The Grad Class Executive would like to thank everyone who came out to embrace their childhoods.

Our kayaking team completed the first 4 hours of their Flat Water Certification this past weekend. In the spring they will do their final 4 hours. Check out the gallery under sports for some interesting pictures!
