Malden High School launches year-long ‘Making it Happen’ campaign

MHS staff nominates & selects students who are ‘Making it Happen’ at the school

As part of a schoolwide campaign to promote and maintain a positive and nurturing school culture at Malden High School, Principal Chris Mastrangelo and his team have come up with a number of ideas and initiatives to further these goals. One of the top initiatives was a new theme for the 2024-2025 school year – “Let’s Make it Happen.”

As part of the overall theme and goal-setting, a related move was the establishment of a recognition on a regular basis of students at MHS who are “Making it Happen.” There is no exact definition of this trait, Mastrangelo explained. “It could be an act of kindness toward a fellow student or a staff member that is noticed by someone. Or, maybe the student worked extra hard and well in the classroom that week,” the MHS principal said. “It could even be the student simply being herself or himself and just showing her or his great personality, humor, and overall positive vibes. We have so many of those students!”

“The ‘Making it Happen’ shoutouts are announced on our student announcements weekly, in the morning before our first class,” Mastrangelo noted. “We have gotten fantastic feedback and our students really want to get on the list or see their classmates get this recognition. ‘Let’s Make it Happen’ has already made a big impact on our goals to maintain our positive and thriving school culture.”
