GREETINGS FROM BRUNSWICK!
Brunswick Executive Update provides former trustees and other especially dedicated members of the school community with a snapshot of our continuing progress.
O’Malley Middle School Named to Honor Dedication & Commitment
An immaculate Brown & Gold plaque now adorns the front entrance of the Middle School on 1275 King Street: O’Malley Middle School.
“This is an appropriate token of our appreciation for all that the O’Malley family has done for Brunswick since joining our community, more than 30 years ago.”
The building has been named in honor of Lili and Tom O’Malley ’85 for their boundless contributions and years of dedicated commitment to Brunswick. “Tom has served loyally on the Board of Trustees for two decades, including as Chairman from 2019–2021, and he worked tirelessly as the school worked to acquire our new Middle School campus and transform it into a stateof-the-art, expansive, and interactive space for learning,” Head of School Thomas W. Philip said.
