FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Alumni, Parents, Family and Friends,

Excellence is one of the primary goals of a Lasallian education. We believe that Calvert Hall provides and promotes excellence in all that we do. We also recognize the need to continually evaluate our academic programs, accepting the challenge to constantly improve them. Last year, we added the Leadership Institute as part of our curriculum.

In the spring months, we expect to complete a new strategic plan for Calvert Hall that will lead us into the next five years. This plan will recognize the great success we have, and will identify opportunities for growth. Our Lasallian values built on faith will be the foundation of the plan.

Clearly, one of our goals is and will be to continue to make Calvert Hall accessible to a widely diverse population. We are grateful for your support and encourage you to share your time, talent, and treasure with The Hall. Thank you for all that you do. Go Hall!

Live Jesus in our hearts . . . Forever!

Sincerely, Brother John Kane FSC, Ed.D. Winter 2018

The first semester of this school year is complete, and it has been a good one. In November, the Competition Marching Band successfully defended its National Championship, an amazing accomplishment. Our sports teams were once again successful. For the fourth consecutive year, we won the Turkey Bowl - in convincing fashion. The theatre program produced another great play bringing to life "The Tales of Edgar Allan Poe". Our It’s Academic team continued their dominance over the other Catholic schools in the region. We were blessed by a visit to campus by Archbishop Lori who celebrated All Saints Liturgy with us and spent time with our students and staff. He wrote to me commenting on how impressed he was with his visit and that it was clear to him that Calvert Hall is one of the premier schools in the region.

This issue of The Cardinal focuses on some new initiatives we have taken in STEM. This summer we renovated Room 121’s lab to be used for our STEM and engineering classes. We have added new engineering courses and adopted the nationally recognized Project Lead the Way STEM curriculum. You will read about some of our alumni who have built successful careers in STEM fields, serving as great role models for our students. A Lasallian education is about preparation and opportunity. STEM initiatives are a great example of our commitment to this.

inter has settled in and a new year has begun. Some of us, especially our students, welcome the cold and the possibilities of snow. Others yearn for the warmth of summer and the call of the beach – a call heard by many of our alums enjoying retirement in Florida. No matter your preference for the season, January is a good time to acknowledge the many blessings God has bestowed on us at Calvert Hall.

CAMPUS RETREATS

Campus Retreats

C

ampus Ministry Retreats offer students the opportunity to take time from from their busy academic and social lives for prayer and ref lection. On retreat, students consider issues that affect their lives as teenagers, such as peer pressure, faith, and relationships with family and friends. The design of our retreats ref lects the developmental nature of the student’s spiritual journey and growth. Each year, every student is provided with a retreat opportunity as a requirement for graduation from Calvert Hall.

FRESHMAN RETREAT In the fall, freshmen participate in their first Calvert Hall retreat experience. This retreat is an opportunity for the freshmen to form a community with one another. During the overnight experience, hosted at Calvert Hall, freshmen bond in peer-led small groups as they explore what it means to be

Lasallian, focusing on the Lasallian themes of Faith and Community. Freshmen participate in team-building games and competitions, ref lect on how to build strong community within and beyond Calvert Hall, pray together and share their experience of faith.

SOPHOMORE RETREAT The Sophomore Retreat invites all students to “Stand Together on the Margins” with the people our society tends to overlook by engaging in a one-day service opportunity. The Sophomore Retreat challenges students to integrate faith and action in

response to the Gospel’s call to serve others. Students volunteer at places such as Our Daily Bread, Paul’s Place, Gallagher Center, and Herring Run Head Start. Each group concludes the day with ref lection and prayer.

JUNIOR RETREAT Juniors participate in a one-night, two-day retreat experience of ref lection and discussion. Entering a year of important decision-making (self-identity, friendships, finding their place, and exploring college opportunities), this retreat challenges students to explore and discern personal direction and goals for

the years ahead. While participating in small group discussions and hands-on activities, the students have the opportunity for personal prayer and ref lection as well as an active engagement with classmates, student peer ministers, and Calvert Hall’s faculty.

Winter 2018

SENIOR RETREAT

Ca rd i na l Magazi ne

2

This experience is a two-night, three-day retreat that focuses on engaging students in the ref lection of their Calvert Hall journey. This special retreat is the culmination of the four-year retreat program where our seniors begin thinking about life after Calvert Hall. Students take time to reminisce and ref lect on the years that have passed as well as pray and prepare for the years ahead. This retreat serves as an unforgettable exploration of where they have been and where they are going, what excites them and what scares them, and how God has been a factor in their lives.

CLUB SPOTLIGHT

C lub S p o t l i g ht

inety-two per cent of Calvert Hall students particiexplore the Cyber Security Club and the Unmanned N pate in at least one club, activity, or sport. Students Aerial Vehicles (UAV) Club. can join more than 70 clubs and activities. This issue we

Cyber Security Club The Cyber Security Club provides students with opportunities to develop digital skills including programming, networking, and administration on a variety of operating systems. There are both competitive and cooperative challenges. Since its inception in 2013, this club has grown to include three teams in the CyberPatriot competition. In 2015, one of Calvert Hall’s teams was a regional award winner in the Mid-Atlantic Gold Tier. Currently one of our teams is ranked in the top 15% nationally.

In addition to their involvement in the CyberPatriot competition, students engage in independent and collaborative research as they design and create projects. With the use of a Raspberry Pi, the young men in the Cyber Security Club have developed their understanding of technology while designing and implementing projects including a cloud server, web authentication software, a touch screen tablet, and an audio based CAPTCHA system. Following months of development, formal student presentations occur that include key research findings and project results. Some graduating students have even decided to continue their cybersecurity and IT studies

and are now enrolled in undergraduate programs at institutions including UMBC, UMD, and Penn State.

From the formation of this club, moderator Christopher Taddiken, a mathematics instructor at Calvert Hall, and mentor Rick Mellendick ’92, Chief Security Officer of PI Achievers, have endeavored to provide meaningful opportunities and engaging challenges. As Mr. Mellendick noted, "As a second-generation Cardinal I have lived my life in and around Calvert Hall, and in the Lasallian tradition of educating and transforming individuals. I wanted to give back what I have learned over my 20-year career to the men of Calvert Hall. The opportunity to mentor the Cyber Security Club for the last 5 years has been an amazing experience due in part to the intellect and the amazing talents I have witnessed in the students." With student involvement growing each year, the young men of the Cyber Security Club have consistently demonstrated their dedication as they strive for excellence in both competitive and collaborative settings.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Club

Winter 2018

The competition requires students to design, integrate, report on, and demonstrate an unmanned aerial system (UAS) capable of autonomous f light and navigation, remote sensing via onboard payload sensors, and execution of a specific set of tasks. This is a great platform for students interested in STEM careers and an excellent opportunity to network with industry leaders in the field of UAS. We compete against many engineering colleges, and international teams, in addition to the other two high school teams.

Last season, the Aero-Cards finished 22 out of 47 teams.

They beat teams from the University of Maryland, U.S. Naval Academy, Cal Poly Paloma, and many other reputable engineering programs.

3 Ca rd i na l Magazi ne

The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Club is dedicated to better understanding the operation and fabrication of drones through personal experience and hands-on-learning.

The club, moderated by Jack Stewart, science teacher at Calvert Hall, is student-led and comprised of over 25 members ranging from freshmen to seniors. The goal every year is to not only increase students’ knowledge and experience with drones, but to compete in the AUVSI SUAS competition. This competition, held at Patuxent Naval Air Base, is the largest UAV competition in the world. Calvert Hall College is one of three high schools invited to attend.

KNOTT FOUNDATION AWARDS A GRANT TO CALVERT HALL

C

alvert Hall is pleased to announce it has been awarded a $107,000 grant from the Knott Foundation. The grant will support upgrades to the original theater stage lights installed in 1989. The new lighting system will include stage lighting, wash lights, and a digital light board. The grant will cover the installation, setup and training of staff on the lighting system and console. The new lighting console, LED lighting instruments and other technologies will allow theatre programs to do a lot more with the same amount of instruments. The new lighting console, LED lighting instruments and other technologies will allow the theatre program more dynamic illumination, while also saving money by fulfilling a need usually met by renting expensive equipment.

Brother John Kane FSC, Ed.D, President of Calvert Hall, shared, “We are so grateful to the Knott Foundation for this wonderful grant. A Calvert Hall education is about the whole person and we celebrate the great success of our students in music and theatre. Their accomplishments are outstanding and this grant will provide a significant enhancement of the theatre experience here at The Hall. We thank the Knott Foundation for the grant and commitment to Catholic education in the Baltimore region.”

Calvert Hall Theatre Director, Kelly Kamp, will be able to immediately put the grant to good work. “While many different groups benefit from the lighting in the McManus Theater at the Knott Center, our program heavily relies on high quality lighting for our productions. In past years, we have had to make many financial sacrifices to acquire quality lighting from outside companies. Now, the students who participate in our program can learn to design and program lighting on the type of equipment they will experience if they choose to go on to study Theatre Arts in college."

The Knott Foundation awards annual grants based on a competitive application and review process. Kelly Medinger, Executive Director for The Marion I. & Henry J. Knott Foundation, shared, “The Knott Foundation has supported Calvert Hall for decades, believing that a good Catholic education can transform both a student’s life and his larger community. We were especially pleased this fall to be able to help with theatre lighting upgrades in the Marion Burk Knott Center for the Performing Arts.

Not only does the Center carry the Knott name, it’s a wonderful gathering place for school and community groups that share the spirit of Calvert Hall with so many.”

CALVERT HALL STEPS UP TO STEM

T

he academic combination of disciplines in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, commonly known by the acronym STEM, are to prepare students to think critically and innovatively. As a leader in the Baltimore community, Calvert Hall has introduced new measures to ensure our students are excelling in these fields.

Calvert Hall offers a wide variety of STEM classes to our students. We offer eight AP STEM courses in addition to numerous other college preparatory and honors classes. For three of the past four years, Calvert Hall has been a top source school for the A. James Clark School of Engineering at the University of Maryland College Park.

Winter 2018

In years previous, Calvert Hall offered a ½ credit engineering class to upperclassman. This course attracted numerous students, but Calvert Hall knew the interest was greater. During the 20172018 school year, Calvert Hall became a Project Lead the Way school. Project Lead the Way provides a transformative learning experience by creating an engaging, hands-on classroom.

Andrew Lessner '96, vice president of Venture Electric, shared, "Project Lead the Way will continue to build on the educational foundation that Calvert Hall's curriculum has always provided.

Students will be better prepared when they graduate to attend college and enter the work force. Since becoming a Project

Lead the Way school, Calvert Hall has tripled its engineering class enrollment.

John Stewart, an engineering faculty member, teaches the Introduction to Engineering class as well as Engineering II class.

He believes, “We, at Calvert Hall College, understand the importance of preparing our young men for college and beyond in the 21st century. We understand that not only will our young men need to have a solid foundation in the arts and humanities, but also a proficient ability in the STEM fields as well.” Mr. Stewart shared the future of Calvert Hall’s engineering curriculum is to offer a four-year program - Introduction to Engineering, Engineering I, Engineering II, and a senior independent course allowing students to research and solve an engineering problem of their choice under faculty mentorship.

Randy Schauer, Ph.D. ‘97, principal multi-disciplinary engineer for Raytheon, earned his B.S. from Duquesne University and his M.S. and Ph.D. from the University of Maryland Baltimore County. He says, “Calvert Hall provided me with a well-rounded experience, which prepared me for college through a strong underlying foundation in mathematics and computer science to start a career as a software engineer and progress to a systems architect today.”

ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT

Outside of the classroom, Calvert Hall has shown their commitment by expanding their STEM offerings to include eleven robotics teams, an unmanned aerial vehicle club and cyber security club (learn more about CHC’s UAV and Cyber Security clubs on page 3). Schauer continues to be impressed

by STEM offerings from Calvert Hall, “…preparing students for careers in fields that make a real difference to everyone on a daily basis, such as cyber security, and fields that are poised to grow significantly in the next 5-10 years, such as robotics and commercial drones.”

STEM occupations are becoming critical in the United States.

Forbes Magazine stated, “In the U.S., STEM fields are projected to grow by 18% by 2018 compared to other fields, which are only projected to grow by 9% (Powers).” Our traditional commitment to excellence in mathematics and science instruction enhanced by new engineering initiatives will position Hall graduates for success in the leading STEM career fields.
