Principals & Directors

Principals

 

Early Learning Center: Ms. Tamara Lawrence, Principal

Linden S.T.E.A.M. Academy: Mr. Rafael Garcia, Principal

Beebe School K-8: Dr. Kari-Ann Murphy, Principal

Hello to Beebe School families! I am very excited to have been selected as your new principal.

I come to the Beebe with more than thirteen years of experience as an educator. I have worked with a variety of students ranging from first through eighth grade. I began my teaching career as an elementary teacher in the Malden Public Schools. After leaving Malden, I spent eight years with Chelsea public schools. In Chelsea, I served as a middle school science teacher, a school and district coach, a professional development provider as well as a content and curriculum lead. My most recent position has been as an assistant principal in Winthrop at Cummings Elementary School.

Two years ago, I completed my doctorate with a dissertation focus on middle school engagement. This past year, I also became a trauma-certified educator through the National Institute for Trauma and Loss in Children. I am looking forward to working with teachers and staff to provide all students with opportunities that challenge them to grow while building a love of learning. I believe all students deserve authentic learning experiences, grounded in a rigorous standards-based curriculum carried out in a culture of kindness, collaboration, and respect.

Ferryway School K-8: Dr. Matthew Stahl, Principal

Forestdale School K-8: Mr. Adam Weldai, Principal

Salemwood School K-8: Ms. Van Huynh, Principal

Hello Salemwood Family!  It is with great pride to be working with you to make our school a safe, loving and successful place for our students, families and staff.
I promise to work hard to ensure that all students are cared for and given opportunities and tools to succeed academically and socially!
My door is always open!  I look forward to seeing and working with you!

Malden High School: Mr. Christopher Mastrangelo,  Principal

Hello Malden High School families,

Thank you for the opportunity to work with your children everyday.  Thank you for trusting us with your most prized possession.  This is not a task that we take lightly.  Every morning roughly 1,900 students walk through the door ready to learn.  At the same time, roughly 150 staff members walk through the door eager to educate.

I have had the honor of working in this community for the past nine years.  In that time, I have come to see just how special and unique this community and the people who live here are.  We work everyday to foster an atmosphere that builds upon our strengths and recognizes and improves our areas of growth.  I welcome you to join us as we move towards providing your children with the best possible education.
