I want to express my admiration and gratitude to the Class of 2021.

They showed amazing strength and resilience while embracing a “new” normal. They endured abbreviated fall and winter athletic seasons, experienced new tradition events such as Senior Retreat Day and Senior Family Mass, and embraced “A” and “B” hybrid days before being offered the ability to return to four days a week.

Ninety-three percent of Calvert Hall students participate in at least one club, activity, or sport. Students can join one or more of our 60 faculty-moderated clubs or activities. This issue we explore the Black Student Union (BSU) and the Asian Student Association (ASA).

CLUB SP OTLIGHT

“The wake of social justice and unrest in the Summer of 2020 gave momentum and awareness to focus on the conditions of our world. In seeing the issues that people were going through around our country, I knew that for some people it was more distant, but to me and people who looked like me, it was very much a reality that could happen to any of us. This realization is what it took for me to get more involved in the BSU. The BSU provided me a haven to be surrounded by people like me, and people who went through the things that I did. However, it also provided me with a platform; to talk about issues that affected people on a larger scale, and to also advocate for issues that directly and indirectly affected me in my community. Because of the BSU, I was able to help my Baltimore community, while also gaining the ability to pursue uncomfortable conversations, and advocate for positive change in my Calvert Hall community.”

Well, it has been four years and here we are, about to graduate Calvert Hall. It all started freshman year way back in 2017. We arrived not knowing much of what the future would hold, but young freshman eager to begin a new journey in our lives. It began with freshman orientation and adventure days. We met our fellow classmates, friends that we would have over the next four years. We came into Calvert Hall as students young and unknowing. Freshman year was filled with fun: The Harvest Dance, mixers, The Beginning. It was the first year of four at this great school we call Calvert Hall.

Next up was Sophomore year. We were still young and impressionable, but we had more of an idea of how Calvert Hall worked and the culture within the school. By this point many of us had found our clubs or sports that we called our own. Sophomore year was also filled with different events. From Sophomore Tie-In, to a formal dance, we all experienced life as a student at Calvert Hall.

Junior year started off how it did for every other class who has come through Calvert Hall. Together as a class we received our class rings at Ring Ceremony. This was followed with Ring Dance, one of my favorite memories I have made at Calvert Hall. But, right after Ring Dance was where things started to change. The world was struck by a pandemic which turned our lives around. Everyone went home from Calvert Hall thinking this would be a two-week vacation… or just fifteen days to slow the spread …. However, this was not the case. Classes switched to virtual. We were stuck at home unable to see our friends. And the year continued on. Classes ended and summer arrived. Our hearts and eyes were focused on our senior year.

As we entered into our senior year, the structure of how we attended school changed. We entered into a hybrid/virtual phase. Slowly, we were able to see our peers again as we came back to school. Events were held in different ways but ways that allowed the traditions to continue. Magazine Drive and Zeal Week were both a go with a little different flavor, such as bubble ball soccer and watching events online. 100 Nights occurred within the Towson Cinemark movie theater. Traditional events, such as Senior Prom, were modified into new events such as Senior Party. Senior Retreat was held at school on the athletic fields. We had a class-wide Senior Mass and Picnic with our parents that was a highlight of the year for many families. Clubs and sports came back and we had nearly complete winter and spring athletic seasons. The Calvert Hall YouTube channel became a common tab on our laptops as we watched our classmates perform and our parents watched us compete.

As Brother John has said, the Class of 2021 is the Class of Grit. We’ve gone through a lot, especially over the last year and a half. But here we are. We made it. The Brotherhood is still strong. We have made memories and friends that will last a lifetime. There was no better theme for our year this year than "Hall United". We are a Hall United because of our school and because of us. Thank you all for going on this journey with me that we call high school, and thank you Calvert Hall for making it so special. Go Hall!

March 12, 2020 - I could not have foreseen how much change I would come to endure. I was sitting on the porch anticipating the inevitable news that the game I was to livestream would be cancelled. My classmates and I talked about the possibility of school being cancelled due to the illness. We were 100% sure that we would return to school during our junior year. The switch from "normal" life to "Covid" life happened so fast.

132 Students

Graduated With Honors

Over the course of the next few weeks, I watched the spring traditions for the Class of 2020 suddenly disappear. While feeling bad for them, I kept thinking in the back my mind my classmates and I would experience a “normal” senior year.

Our senior year has come to a close, and our sense of “normal” has changed. Embracing that our senior year would be different is what got us through. We leaned into this new "normal" because we didn’t have much choice. Sure, there were tough moments like the A and B hybrid guys growing apart since we were at school on different days and missing out on the 101st Turkey Bowl. What we lost made what we had that much better. We adapted our traditions - practiced at our houses and celebrated the four-day week like an assembly schedule announcement in the theater. Despite not being able to celebrate all of the "normal" traditions together, it’s the resilience of the Class of COVID that will unify the Class of 2021 forever.

$24,137,750 Scholarship Dollars Earned The Office of Student Affairs planned a special evening for the Class of 2021 to celebrate 100 nights until graduation. Students and their families were invited to Cinemark Towson and XD to view the premier of the Senior Class video and receive their St. John Baptist de La Salle pin.

Senior mass

The Class of 2021 and their parents were invited to participate in the Senior Class Mass and Picnic in May. The socially distant mass led by Father Buening was followed by a picnic where families were given Calvert Hall branded picnic baskets and additional goodies.

As a senior in Calvert Hall’s Class of 2021, saying that this past year was tumultuous would be an understatement. I never could have imagined ending my high school senior year in the midst of a global pandemic. Senior year was supposed to be the crescendo of my four years. I heard from those before me speak fondly about their last year at Calvert Hall. I watched the senior experience with the Classes of 2018 and 2019. When the Class of 2020 missed the last few months of their year, I saw what they missed but I thought this would over by September.

It’s crazy to think that we are all moving on now, in our different paths, when it feels like yesterday when we were all together as Juniors in March 2020 ready to finish the year strong and excited for our final year. But after a year of wearing masks, social distancing, and virtual learning, here we are graduating and saying goodbye to our high school.

The year was both busy and confusing. On one hand, I needed to focus on my academics as I still needed to finish strong. I also needed to focus on college visits, sports, and ultimately my health and well-being. This was not always the easiest thing to do. This, honestly, led to some anxiety. My anxiety was focused on the experiences I lost, would lose and the things I will miss the most about Calvert Hall.

I will miss the Brotherhood I’ve cultivated while I was here. I will miss being a part of something greater than myself.

I’m now getting ready to part from my school and become an alumnus. My senior year was different than those in the past and four years happened much faster than I expected. But if this past year has taught me anything, it was that I can adapt to my situation, persevere and be a better person.

Seniors spent time praying with their class, enjoying some fun bonding activities in small groups, and participating in field games.

They received their Class of 2021 t-shirt, senior retreat cross, and senior class yard sign while trying out local food trucks. The day ended with a cookout on the practice fields.

On a national level, Academic Influence named Calvert Hall the 36th best private school in the country and the 3rd best private school in the state of Maryland (just behind DeMatha and Georgetown Prep). In the Baltimore area, Calvert Hall has been named “Best Boys Independent School” by the readers of Baltimore’s Child magazine.

Calvert Hall Partners with Safeway Maintaining a safe environment for the Calvert Hall community has been at the forefront of our efforts this year.

We partnered with Safeway twice to administer more than 850 vaccines on-campus to Calvert Hall students, their immediate families and incoming students.

T he Future is Now C

alvert Hall launched a new branded website on Monday, June 7, 2021. The website address remains the same (calverthall.com), but the look and feel will leave you astonished.

The new site is more visually appealing and offers a friendlier user experience on desktop, tablet, and mobile views. The Arts now has a dedicated section showcasing our award-winning talent. Another new feature is the News & Media section which will allow users to customize their experience by searching for a specific article by published date and even category.

Additionally, the Calvert Hall Athletics page received a complete makeover. This site has athletic specific news, a new feature to make it easier to find specific teams, and a directory to locate all of Calvert Hall’s athletic staff. Similar to the new main site, the athletic site also offers a calendar filter to allow users to find specific team’s games and even setting specific date reminders directly to the user’s phone. The athletic site can be accessed by visiting gocardinals.calverthall.com.

By providing financial assistance to eligible young men, Calvert Hall continues to fulfill St. John Baptist de La Salle’s vision and mission. With support from numerous benefactors, Calvert Hall is able to provide financial assistance for students to recognize their full potential. Over the last forty years, alumni and friends have gone one step further, to create a lasting legacy by establishing their own endowed named scholarship or named memorial grant. A few are highlighted here….

The First Named Scholarship…

Tragedy struck the Calvert Hall community in December 1980 when Paul Kinney ’81 suffered a fatal heart attack during a pre-season basketball scrimmage. With so many throughout the CHC community wishing to honor Paul, principal Br. Rene Sterner, FSC began a campaign to raise a million pennies to create the Paul Kinney Scholarship.

Long-time faculty member and former principal Lou Heidrick remembers,

SCHOLARS “When Paul tragically died, the school began the Paul Kinney Fund. Jim Fitzsimmons, former Director of Student Activities, and I handed out plastic bottles with ‘Paul Kinney Fund’ labels to every student. Goal to collect one million pennies - $10,000. Janet, my wife, faithfully donated to the fund every year since.”

A few years later, in a senseless act of violence, Craig Cromwell ’86 was walking home from a friend’s house when he was shot and killed in April 1985. A star forward on the basketball team, the junior was known for his wide smile and as a friend to everyone. “When Craig was killed, it seemed logical to transition the Paul Kinney Fund to the Kinney/Cromwell Fund. Paul and Craig were known for much more than just basketball. They were happy young men who strived to do well at Calvert Hall,” said Mr. Heidrick. The Kinney-Cromwell Scholarship continues to receive gifts from classmates, family and friends who keep Paul and Craig’s memory alive at The Hall.

Remembering Their Classmate…

While an endowed scholarship provides interest that funds an award, a memorial grant provides direct support through annual gifts.

Mickey Lippy ’92 was a star lacrosse and football player

during his days at The Hall. After serving with the Anne Arundel Fire Department, Mickey became a Maryland State Trooper, serving as a flight paramedic for the Maryland State Medivac aviation command. He died September 28, 2008 in a helicopter crash during a medical transport. The Mickey C. Lippy Memorial Grant was established by members of the Class of 1992 in memory of their classmate. Rick Lobo ’92 remembers, “In 2009, five CHC Alumni from the Class of 1992 came together with the small idea to do something different to give back to CHC, thinking that there was an opportunity to make a more individualized investment in a student and school - The Mickey C. Lippy Memorial Grant.

Three students have been able to benefit from the grant, and continue to make his family and other supporters proud.”

For any other classes that might want to know more and perhaps replicate this approach, feel free to reach to any of the following: Rick Lobo ’92, Mark Phelps ’92, Pat Accorsi ’92, Ed Johnson ’92, Joe Antonelli ’92.

Creighton, have rallied support from swimming alumni and the Knights of Columbus Orchard (KCO) to established the Arthur “Reds” Hucht ’35 Scholarship. Scott remarked “establishing and building this scholarship fund for Mr. Hucht is a way of not only thanking him for all that he did for us and The Hall, but keeping his legacy vibrant to inspire future generations of swimmers.” More than 100 CHC and KCO swimming alums have made gifts and pledges to grow the Hucht Scholarship Endowment to now support up to three students per year.

A Family’s Legacy….

HIPS Remembering Those Who Shaped Us… Many Calvert Hall faculty, staff and coaches have dedicated their lives to the school and the young men entrusted to their care. “Legend” and “Icon” are just two of the terms used to describe these people who are immediately known just by last name. Arthur “Reds” Hucht ’35 is one of them. Known affectionately as “Reds” by everyone in the community, he coached the Calvert Hall swimming teams from 1960-1997. His teams won 23 Maryland Scholastic Association championships. Reds was a demanding coach who guided his swimmers to outstanding individual performances. His former swimmers regularly credit Red’s contributions to their later success in life.

Following his passing in 2012, Red’s daughter, Wendy, along with former swimmers, Mark ’70 and Scott ’74

While Robert R. Gill ’30 and his brother John, Jr. ’29 would make the trek from the family home in Cockeysville to the “Old Hall” at Cathedral and Mulberry, little did he know then that his beloved Calvert Hall would years later relocate to the Towson campus – a short distance from the home he enjoyed with his wife Ellen and children. When high school approached for sons Mike ’68, Patrick ’68 and Gary ’70, following their father to The Hall seemed only natural.

Three decades later, the Gill Family Scholarship would be established to honor the many influences The Hall has had on their family. As much as the scholarship is about their family, it’s equally important for the opportunity it will provide the deserving young men they don’t even know.

As Mike Gill shared, “my brothers, Pat and Gary and I were very fortunate to be able to attend Calvert Hall. Now, so many decades later, it's even more pronounced what an important role CHC has had in my life. Many of the relationships that began over fifty years ago, are still part of my life. In many ways my Calvert Hall experience has played a major role in my life and the success I've had.

When we created the Gill Family Scholarship, it was all about making it possible for great young men to have the same opportunity I, my brothers and my dad and uncle had attending Calvert Hall College.”

A full list of all the endowed scholarships and memorial grants can be found at calverthall.com/giving.
