History

The school is staffed by the Marist Brothers, founded by Saint Marcellin Champagnat.[2]

In 1892, Br. Zephiriny opened St. Ann's Academy in two brownstone buildings at East 76 Street and Lexington Avenue. Initially a parish elementary school, the program expanded to include a two-year commercial course and then a four-year high school program. Initially conducted entirely in French, the school moved to English-language instruction, and by the 20th century, the Brothers anglicized the name to St. Ann's. During the Theodore Roosevelt era, the school briefly took on a military air, with uniforms and a marching band. Boarding facilities were added. When the original parish church was replaced in 1912 with the present-day church, the Brothers acquired the old building and converted it as a gymnasium. A purpose-built five-story school building was then constructed, and other neighboring buildings were acquired.[2]Шаблон:Non-primary source needed

65 years after its foundation, the school enrollment was 800 in grades one through twelve, and all available buildings were full. Some of the earliest buildings had deteriorated structurally, and required replacement.Шаблон:Cn

Archbishop Thomas Edmund Molloy, the Ordinary of the Diocese of Brooklyn, offered the Marist Brothers a Шаблон:Convert site he had purchased in central Queens County. In 1957, the Brothers moved to the new site, naming the building in honor of Archbishop Molloy. The building received an award from the Queens Chamber of Commerce's annual architectural competition in 1957.[3] The expanded facilities had the school nearly double its enrollment.

In 1987, the Ralph DiChiaro Center for Arts and Sciences was dedicated.[2]

In 2000, Molloy became co-educational. It graduated its first female in 2004.Шаблон:Cn

Richard Karsten, class of 1981, was appointed President of Molloy in July 2010. He served on the school's first director in the 1990s and is a member of the Stanner Hall of Fame.Шаблон:Cn

Stanner

Шаблон:Unreferenced section "Stanner" is a word created by Archbishop Molloy High School. Before modern-day Molloy was built in Briarwood, Queens, the school was named St. Ann's Academy. The students were known as "St. Ann-ers," a nickname which, over time, simply became "Stanners." All of Molloy's students, current and alumni, are known as Stanners.

Several things in the school have this name, including the school newspaper, The Stanner. The school's athletic teams are also known as the Stanners.

Academics

The U.S. Department of Education recognized the school as a "National School of Excellence."Шаблон:Cn Molloy was named as 1 of 96 most "Outstanding American High School" by U.S. News & World Report in 1999,[4] as well as an "Exemplary School" by the United States Department of Education.Шаблон:Cn
