We have continued to work closely with the BARR Foundation to complete a comprehensive review of academic offerings, instruction, curriculum, student data, and school-wide focus on areas of need. As a result of the data collected, we have focussed on improving the transition from middle school to high school, as well as establishing a vision for MHS and its students as they move through high school and prepare for college and career. We have also continued our work to help us move towards increasing our Student Growth Percentile (SGP) in ELA and Math MCAS.

Malden High School offers a wide variety of enrichment opportunities for students, including division 1 varsity, junior varsity, and freshman level athletics, robust theater, choral, and band programs, and over 70 clubs and organizations.
