Jeanne Marquardo, who started working as a secretary at Malden High School right after she was graduated from MHS in the early 1970s, was honored with a cake and a celebration earlier this month in marking her 50th year as an employee of the Malden Public Schools. In these photos she is greeted by Malden Superintendent of Schools Dr. Ligia Noriega-Murphy and, in the group photo, celebrates with fellow Administrative Assistants Christina Baires, Jamila Andino, Leanne Glennon and Business Teacher Beth Horwitz.
