Our mission has not only endured, but has expanded because of the selfless generosity of alumni, parents, and friends, and their commitment to the long-term vitality of Archbishop Molloy High School. Each year, this charity ensures we can achieve our goals for scholarship, capital improvements, and having the resources and ability to design a top-flight curriculum that inspires an exemplary caliber of students and retains outstanding administrators, faculty, and staff. EVERY GIFT we have been blessed to receive sends a powerful message that you believe in Molloy and its Craig Katinas ‘93 mission. We are sincerely grateful to YOU – our donors – for playing an integral role in Molloy’s philanthropic legacy in support of teaching excellence and lifelong learning. The results are evident when considering that our graduating Class of 2016 received over $100,000,000 in scholarship to attend some of the most prestigious colleges and universities in the world. As we reflect on the 2015-16 year, we are truly thankful to our Community’s deep commitment to Molloy. It serves as inspiration and motivation for all of us to work harder for our students and continue the sacred work of protecting, sustaining, and growing our school. On behalf of the Marist Brothers, President Richard Karsten ’81, and the administration, faculty, staff, and students we serve it, is my honor to share with you Molloy’s annual report for 2015-2016. Within the pages that follow you will find our report on giving and honor roll for donors. We are deeply grateful for the time and wisdom you share with Molloy. What is the dream for many schools is our reality because of your sacrificial giving. This is how a strong and vibrant community is built; this is why we are more than a mission that serves just four years of your life. We serve a lifetime. Non scholae sed vitae Craig M.
