Stanner Alumni Reunion – Classes Ending in 0 & 5 Enjoy Memorable Night!
On Saturday, November 8, 2025, Archbishop Molloy High School proudly welcomed home alumni from class years ending in 0 and 5! Molloy hosted Stanners representing seven different decades, spanning the 1960s to the 2020s! It was a very special evening underscored by many fond memories shared and friendships renewed. Our alumni enjoyed catching up with their classmates and favorite teachers, walking the halls of Stanner High (some for the first time in many years!), and even securing some of the latest Molloy merch from our bookstore!
The Beehive congratulates all classes who reunited, with special recognition for the Class of 1975, who welcomed over 70 classmates in celebration of their golden 50th Anniversary, and for the Class of 2000, who proudly celebrated their silver 25th Anniversary! Each member of the Classes of 1975 and 2000 who attended the Reunion received a commemorative medal marking their special milestone.
President Richard Karsten ’81 offers his sincerest thanks to our alumni for their enthusiasm in coming back to Molloy. “We deeply appreciate the lifelong bond our alumni share with Molloy. To all the alums who attended, thank you, please continue to stay in touch, and keep us updated on all your many successes in life.” President Karsten also extends his thanks to all Molloy staff who worked hard to make the Reunion possible, including the Stanner Alumni Center, Advancement, Facilities, and IT departments, as well as thanks to our student volunteers.
Once again, we are honored and blessed that so many of you returned to Molloy, and we look forward to seeing you again soon! Remember, you don’t have to wait every five years for a reunion — you are welcome to join us for any of our events throughout the year! Visit and bookmark www.molloyhs.org/alumni or read future Beehives to stay informed.
Our next Stanner Alumni Reunion will be held in November 2026 (date to be announced) and will welcome alumni from classes ending in 1 and 6. Be sure to read The Beehive or visit www.molloyhs.org/reunion for future announcements!
Parents’ Guild Welcomes Freshman Parents/Guardians at Annual Reception
Thank you to all freshman parents/guardians who attended our Parents’ Guild Cocktail Reception on November 6, 2025! It was a wonderful evening highlighted by good company and spirited conversation!
Attendees wore nametags that included the sports and or activities their student is involved with, which served as a great conversation icebreaker. Our freshman parents/guardians also had opportunities to buy Molloy merch, win door prizes, win baskets by correctly answering trivia questions, and even win a 50/50 raffle (congrats to 50/50 winner Jorge Gomez)!
Molloy’s Parents’ Guild invites parents and guardians to participate in special receptions each year, as well as to attend other school and alumni events either as guests or volunteers. The presence of our parents/guardians at events represents a vital part of the vibrancy of our school each year. We appreciate all you do to support the success of your children and the strength of our community!

In a heartfelt letter of thanks, Founder and President of SHAREing & CAREing, Anna Kril, wrote, “Carrie and Kaylani’s artistic efforts and acts of service are a testament to the values instilled in them by their families and school communities, including Molloy. The knowledge that there are caring, aware, and involved young people in the world can give us all hope for a better future.”

Alumni App Creators Serve as Guest Presenters in Virtual Enterprise Class
Recently, alumni John Paul Mussalli, Jonathan Zero, and Brian Weigand from the Class of 2022 returned to Molloy to speak with Mr. Touzin’s Virtual Enterprise class! The three were recently selected to take part in the prestigious Y Combinator summer incubator program, receiving $500,000 in investment funding. Y Combinator, or YC, is one of the world’s most renowned startup accelerators, having launched over 5,000 companies since 2005, including Airbnb, DoorDash, Instacart, and Reddit.
John Paul, Jonathan, and Brian’s company, CareSwift, was among just one percent of roughly 10,000 applicants chosen for YC’s summer program. CareSwift’s mission is to help emergency medical teams save time on on-site reporting while improving the accuracy of patient histories for insurance providers. The idea stemmed from Brian’s firsthand experience as an EMT in New York City, where extensive reporting requirements often limited the number of emergency calls he could answer.
The three alumni participated in a panel discussion with students, sharing their insights on entrepreneurship and what it takes to launch a startup. They reflected on their early interest in business during high school and how they carried that passion through college. Each emphasized the importance of identifying real-world problems, especially those they’ve personally faced, and building solutions that truly serve their customers.
John Paul highlighted how important Mr. Touzin and his VE class was in his journey and the growth of this company. He says, “Mr. Touzin and VE were instrumental in shaping how I think. The critical thinking and systems thinking I learned in his class drive how we make decisions and build CareSwift today.” Thank you, John Paul, Jonathan, and Brian, for taking the time to visit Molloy and speak to Stanners!
Terry McNamara ’85 and friend Pat Gordon ’81 recently took a trip to Lima, Peru, where they were surprised to find a statue of St. Marcellin Champagnat! The statue is situated in Champagnat Park, a public park in the Miraflores district of Lima. The park offers sweeping seaside views and serves as a meeting point for local Marist communities. The pictured green plaque translates to: “French priest, founder of the Marist Brothers, known for his vocation of service and contributions to education.” Thank you for sharing this great update, Terry and Pat!
Brian McGarvey ’98 shares that the 2025 New York City Marathon was his very first marathon! He completed the 26.2 mile marathon with a time of 03:48:39. Congratulations, Brian!
Mike Zacchea ’63, Joe Trainor ’62, and Bob Corrigan ’63 shared a photo from their recent gathering in Forest Hills. All three Stanners ran track together at Molloy!
