Superintendent's Friday Message
May 23, 2025
A rainy spring can't stop the brilliance of our student athletes across our middle and high schools!
Well done to our High School Boys and Girls lacrosse teams for winning the Greater Boston League Regular Season Championship undefeated! Our boys finished a perfect 8-0 in league play, while our girls won 12 games from 12. Additionally, we are thrilled for our boys and girls Middle School Track and Field athletes who also earned a GBL championship. Thank you for representing Medford so strongly, and we can't wait to pack the sidelines during your postseason journeys.
Additionally, earlier this month eight members in the Class of 2025 formally signed their national letter of intent this month to play a sport at the collegiate level. Congratulations to our three football players, three track and field athletes and two lacrosse players who will be continuing their athletic journeys. Your passion, dedication and willingness to work alongside your teammates and coaches are just a few of the many reasons you've earned this opportunity. Visit Here to see more.
To honor the brave men and women who we've lost, the City of Medford will be holding a Memorial Day Ceremony at Oak Grove Cemetery on Monday, May 26 beginning at 10 a.m.
In anticipation of this community event, last Saturday McGlynn Middle School students, staff and members of the community joined Medford’s Post 45 American Legion to decorate the graves of the fallen soldiers. The McGlynn's community involvement was organized by MMS ELA teacher Mr. Michael Cremin, a Navy veteran himself who has led this effort for the past 20 years. The morning served as a special time for those who attended, helping them capture the true meaning of the holiday.
To further honor our military members who have passed, our McGlynn Elementary School will be holding an outdoor concert from 10-11 a.m. next Wednesday, May 28. MES parents and caregivers are invited to attend the performance held on the outdoor stage at the new playground.
Congratulations to Medford Public Schools Athletic Director Bobby Maloney, who after more than 30 years with us announced this week he will be retiring from his role leading our athletic department this September. Bobby has been instrumental in the growth of our MPS athletics program, but most importantly established a culture of respect, teamwork and friendship among our student athletes and families. Our Mustang athletic program wouldn't be where it is today without his guidance and leadership.
