Matthew H. Malone is an American educator who is the superintendent of Fall River Public Schools and the former Massachusetts secretary of education.
Malone grew up in Newton, Massachusetts. During his youth he was diagnosed with dyslexia. At the age of 17, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. Malone served in the Marines for sixteen years and retired as a sergeant. He earned a bachelor's degree in history from Suffolk University and a master's degree in secondary education and a doctorate in educational administration from Boston College.
Malone began his teaching career in 1993 as a paraprofessional and substitute teacher in the Boston Public Schools. He then worked as a high school social studies teacher in Boston from 1995 to 1999 and middle school assistant principal in Duxbury, Massachusetts from 1999 to 2000. From 2000 to 2003 headmaster of Monument High School, a new high school created from the breaking up of the large South Boston High School.
From 2004 to 2005, Malone served as special assistant to the superintendent and instructional leader in the San Diego Unified School District. In this role he led the largest high school conversion (breaking up of a large high school into smaller schools) initiative in the country.
In 2005, Malone returned to Massachusetts as Swampscott, Massachusetts' superintendent of schools. In 2008, he informed the Swampscott school committee that he did not intend to renew his contract when it expired in 2010, citing a desire to return to an urban school district. Malone was a finalist for the superintendent's positions in Worcester and Springfield, Massachusetts.
On June 23, 2009 the Brockton school committee voted 4 to 3 to hire Malone as superintendent of Brockton Public Schools.
