Malden, MA – Malden Catholic High School hosted a heartfelt beam signing ceremony on October 3rd and 4th, inviting students, alumni, parents, faculty, and staff to commemorate a significant milestone in the construction of its new 50 Crystal Street building. Participants signed one of the final beams to be installed, marking a moment of unity and pride for the entire MC community.
The new building, encompassing 72,000 square feet, is set to transform Malden Catholic’s campus, featuring a state-of-the-art 35,000 square-foot turf field, a 3,000 square-foot wellness center, and specialized learning labs for in-demand subjects such as Financial Literacy, BioMedical studies, Engineering, and Entrepreneurship. Additionally, the facility will house 17 classrooms, many of which are specifically designed to support the launch of the new 7th and 8th grade program.
To finance this ambitious project, Malden Catholic has launched a $40 million “Campaign for Malden Catholic,” supplemented by a construction loan from Brookline Bank. Officially launched this past April at the Malden Catholic Gala, which was held at the Encore Boston Harbor Resort with more than 700 in attendance, the Campaign will provide the 93-year-old institution with state-of-the-art facilities.
MC President John Thornburg remarked, “The beam signing ceremony was a significant milestone in our history as construction continues ahead of schedule on the building, which we believe will transform our campus. We already have over 500 families registered to attend an Open House to apply for enrollment next September in grades 7-9. The development of 50 Crystal Street is further cementing MC’s legacy as the fastest-growing Catholic school in New England.”
