Molloy proudly shares that it has received accreditation from the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (MSA) is \u201ca non-governmental, nonprofit, peer-administered organization of diverse educational institutions committed to ensuring that students in accredited schools are receiving the highest quality education.\u201d A third-party entity, the MSA sent \u201cobjective, non-judgmental\u201d fellow educators to observe Molloy and discuss various objectives and key concepts that will guarantee a top-tier education to all students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Jonathan Mangar ’09<\/strong>, World Language teacher, acted as the internal coordinator for the re-accreditation process, and worked with the school community to gather data about Molloy\u2019s academics, technology, Marist Mission, and many other aspects of the school. He shared, \u201cI facilitated the team’s visit, and they were altogether pleased with us and our outstanding school!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Principal Dr. Penikas<\/strong>, \u201cIt is important to get an impartial, professional, well-known and well-respected third-party to periodically evaluate Molloy to ensure that we are taking active and intentional steps to live our mission and be the best school we can be.\u201d During the process, members of the MSA evaluated Molloy\u2019s facilities, financial resources, technology, and other qualities of student and faculty life, as well as instructional methods, curriculum, and support services. Molloy met all MSA standards, marking it as an \u201cAccredited Institution,\u201d and then created action plans with the MSA team to continue serving our community to the best of our ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marist Youth Encounter.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Earlier this month, students from Molloy joined five other Marist schools at the Marist Brothers\u2019 Center at Esopus for a Marist Youth Encounter. The weekend served to strengthen students\u2019 Marist faith and encouraged self-reflection and team-building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On January 12th, Campus Ministry and I AM Green hosted a viewing of the film \u201cThe Letter<\/em>.\u201d Students were invited after school to view Pope Francis\u2019s documentary about environmental awareness, which was a \u201ccall to action for climate change.\u201d The Marist US Vice Provincial, Br. Owen Ormsby \u201874<\/strong>, also attended the viewing. Moderator of I AM Green Mr. Dougherty ’91<\/strong> said of the documentary, \u201cIt was incredibly moving and powerful\u2026 funny at times. Bringing together four people from such different backgrounds with their common goals that were totally in line with the Pope\u2019s historic call to action was both heartwarming and incredibly effective. Also, I was very impressed with the amount of kids that came and their responses in our discussion!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In December, Molloy\u2019s QubitxQubit: Quantum Computing students visited IBM\u2019s Midtown office and meet with quantum computing scientists, as well as other students from New York City!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tyler Tabarovsky \u201823<\/strong> had a fantastic time at the NYC Quantum Computing meetup.

Introducing: Sports Management Club<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Molloy is always looking to add new clubs and activities so all students can find something they\u2019re passionate about. Several new clubs have been introduced in the 2022-23 school year, including the instant hit Sports Management Club! Moderated by Ms. Stephanie Staiano<\/strong>, the club allows for student involvement in documenting and sharing athletic information to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Ms. Staiano, \u201cThe club was created for students who are interested in sports and want to get involved in the athletics program here at Molloy. Some of our members are on teams, and some are students who are interested in helping to manage the teams. The club members do sports photography, create sports media posts for social media, create graphic designs for sports content, keep statistics, report scores, broadcast games, assist staff on media days, and help with athletic events.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each individual sports team will have its own representatives from the club that will make sure all information is received and shared. Representatives include a reporter, graphic designers, statisticians, and broadcasters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Co-president of the club Samantha LaTempa \u201823<\/strong> shares, \u201cThis club builds support for the athletics program at Molloy and creates exposure for all of the amazing athletes we have. I love how anyone can be involved in this club and how you don\u2019t have to be on a sports team to participate.\u201d Co-president Anthony Romano \u201823<\/strong> says he \u201cenjoys working together with students from all grades to represent our athletes here at Molloy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
