Molloy is extremely grateful to the nearly 3,000 visitors that attended our 2023 Open House on October 15th! The event, which sold out over a week prior, welcomed prospective families to our 6 acre campus to meet our students, faculty, and staff. After arriving at Molloy, visitors heard speeches from our Principal Dr. Darius Penikas, and outstanding seniors Bailey Meier ‘24, Kumi Afful ‘24, and Joseph Castano ‘24. Each student spoke about their own individual Molloy experiences, and how these experiences have helped them build confidence and grow as leaders. All three shared their love for Molloy and their hope that the rising 6th, 7th, and 8th graders in attendance would soon become a part of the Molloy family.
After the speeches, visitors were taken on a student-guided tour through the building, stopping at various displays that highlighted our science labs, Campus Ministry Department, academic departments, our Global Educational Adventures, and much more. Throughout the day, student volunteers were eager to share their high school experiences with future Stanners, in particular the family spirit that flows through Molloy. At the end of the tour, families visited our Marsloe Gym to learn more about our 44 athletic teams and over 60 clubs and activities.
Director of Admissions Mr. Jonathan DiDonato shares, “Sunday’s Open House was a great success! Several families commented on how smooth the event was, and spoke highly of the student tour guides. One gentleman remarked that Molloy’s students ‘sold the school,’ and are its truest and best asset. Excitedly, the attendance was back to pre-pandemic numbers!” We can’t wait to welcome back our guests as official Stanners next school year!
Weren’t able to make the Open House? Don’t worry! A virtual tour was shared on social media, with Charlize Collado ‘24 guiding a virtual audience through our campus. Check it out in our Instagram highlights at: www.instagram.com/molloyhs/
