onsisting of a primary school, intermediate school, middle school and high school, the Malverne Union Free School District has set ambitious goals since it began as a single schoolhouse more than 160 years ago. Since then, Malverne has seen its school district grow in every respect. In March, the district transitioned to online learning because of the coronavirus pandemic. At Malverne’s primary and intermediate schools, students in every grade have engaged in a variety of print and digital activities, and used learning platforms such as Class Dojo, SeeSaw, Remind and WebEx to communicate virtually with their teachers. In addition to classroom assignments, district leaders have encouraged students to keep up with phys. ed., music, art and technology through other programs each week. Middle and high school students have used OneNote, Edmodo and Microsoft Teams, among other virtual learning platforms. At the Howard. T. Herber Middle School, there are diverse programs, including a full roster of clubs so youngsters have an opportunity to explore various interests. Malverne High School is one of the most effective secondary schools in the country. In May 2020, the high school was ranked on the U.S. News and World Reports Best High Schools list for the second year in a row. Not only is Malverne High School ranked in the top 11 percent of schools in the nation, but very few schools on the list share Malverne’s demographics.
