Dedicated to Excellence W hat is Malden Catholic? Ostensibly, it is a school, a place where young men come to learn. However, anyone who has had firsthand experience with M.C. will tell you that it is much more than a school. It is a community. On a typical school day during our years at Malden Catholic, over eight hundred students, faculty, and staff members from dozens of different cities and towns travelled to 99 Crystal Street to make up this community. We came for many reasons: to learn, to teach, to serve, to compete, to socialize, to advise, and to have fun. Perhaps most importantly, we came to grow. By sharing in a variety of experiences — experiences that were academic, athletic, extracurricular and spiritual in nature — we all grew as in dividuals. One factor tied everything at Malden Catholic together: the pursuit of excellence. In the classroom, on the field; before, during, and after school, people at M.C. strove to put forth their best effort. Nobody is perfect and we therefore did not always succeed. However, this dedication to excellence gave us many reasons to be proud of ourselves and of our school. The pages of this yearbook attempt to highlight some of these reasons and to capture the spirit that is Malden Catholic. This Page: Middle Left: Layton, Hopkins, Alston, and Giordano celebrate.

Excellence In Academics KA alden Catholic is first and 1 foremost dedicated to excellence in academics. As a college preparatory school, M.C. strove to develop, enrich, and inspire our minds — to ready us academically for the future. The caring and talented members of the M.C. faculty worked to pass on not only their knowledge, but their enthusiasm for learning as well. The academic standards which we had to meet were not easy ones, but they did produce many impressive results. As always, students won academic awards and gained other distinctions. Recognition from the National Merit Scholarship Program and the success which we had as a class in gaining acceptance to college were just two indications of the quality of an M.C. education. As our lives progress, we come to appreciate this education even more and to value the time we spent in the classroom. We learned at Malden Catholic that education is much more than mere job preparation; it is a process of inquiry that betters anyone with a genuine interest. Having benefited from Malden Catholic ' s special commitment to the process, we left better equipped to face the future and to guide the direction of our lives.
