Robotics Team Movie Fundraiser - Tonight!
Congratulations to Girls Hockey!
The Girls Hockey Team received the 2024 James F. Mulloy Team Sportsmanship Award! These awards are presented to high school hockey programs that exemplify the sportsmanship qualities of the late James F. Mulloy. Mr. Mulloy was the former head hockey coach at Everett HS, Malden Catholic HS and Dom Savio HS and his overwhelming desire was to ensure that high school hockey was played in a fair and equitable manner with sportsmanship as the driving force for all players and coaches.
Shining a Light on Computer Science Education
On March 20th, five MHS computer science students - Emma Buckley, Karim Camara, Julia Mangum, Colin Truong, and Tatum York - had an amazing opportunity to showcase their talents at the Massachusetts State House. They presented a variety of projects they'd been working on, including networks, artificial intelligence and its role in combating cyberbullying, website design, and even games they programmed themselves. Throughout the day, state representatives stopped by their table, engaging in lively discussions and questioning them about their creations. They received citations from Senator Walter Timilty in recognition of their continued work on CS Education advocacy.
STEMinist Convention
Students from MHS participated in the 2024 STEMinist Convention held at Roxbury Community College this past week. "Future Steminist is a day-long event that engages 6th-12th grade BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and Person of Color) girls in STEM project-based activities that expose them to the industry and gives them the opportunity to construct new knowledge and gain problem-solving skills through design, application, project management, and communication. This conference is pivotal because no other conference in the Greater Boston area specifically focuses on BIPOC girls." (this was taken from website)
Students were able to select from a variety of sessions to participate in where they worked with other students from across the state. Additionally, students participated in college and career readiness conversations and engaged in networking opportunities with local businesses. Learn more about sySTEMic Flow and programs they offer.
