September 24, 2025 – Malden Public Schools is proud to have received a grant from the Mass Cultural Council to support two different art projects in our K-8 schools over the course of the 2024-2025 school year.

On Wednesday, August 27, Superintendent Tim Sippel was joined by Mayor Gary Christenson and School Committee Vice-Chair Jennifer Spadafora for a tour of all the K-8 schools and Malden High School as they opened their doors to students for the new year. School Committee Member Sharyn Rose-Zeiberg also joined the group's visit to Linden STEAM Academy. The day ended at Beebe where new DESE Commissioner Pedro Martinez, as well as State Senator Lewis and State Representatives Ultrino and Lipper-Garabedian joined the tour.

Photos from these first day of school visits can be seen in the full post.

For a Malden Center T Station mural installation, the MBTA hosted a contest to determine what artists’ work would be included as final large panels. Malden High School students in Kristina Gilbert's Studio 3 class submitted individual 11x14 representations of their proposed project to the contest. From the class, the MBTA selected one winning panel to be the center of a collage surrounded by the works of other students who had entered the contest. For the works selected, students collaborated to paint the large middle panel and the smaller panels around the outside. You can visit the mural installation along the bridge on Summer Street!

On Friday, May 2, students from Malden High School and 7th and 8th grade students from Malden’s Linden S.T.E.A.M. Academy participated in the Rising Leaders Model United Nations (UN) Conference. Malden students earned four awards at the middle school level and three Honorable Mentions at the high school level.

At the Malden School Committee meeting on Monday, May 5, two Malden students were presented with Citations recognizing their achievements in art. Claire Johnston, a fifth-grader at the Forestdale School, and Hazel Queen, a freshman at Malden High School, both recently won awards for their art.

The Blue and Gold, the student-run newspaper of Malden High School, entered many individual pieces for consideration in the annual New England Scholastic Press Association contest.
