The Brother Gregory Cavalier, FSC Endowed Scholarship

Established in 2023 through the generous support of alumni and friends, the Brother Gregory Cavalier, FSC Scholarship provides tuition support for students with financial need who demonstrate a commitment to excellence in their academic endeavors. Each year a grant is awarded to outstanding student scholars who, without this support, would be unable to attend The Hall.

Brother Gregory, known as Brother Flamian Gregory Cavalier until 1966 when Christian Brothers were able to have secular names, earned a bachelor’s degree in French from the Catholic University of America (magna cum laude) in 1951 and a master’s degree in Latin from the University of Pittsburgh in 1955. He taught at Calvert Hall from 19631979. During this time, he worked in the modern language department while also serving as a moderator for freshman football, junior varsity football, varsity football and varsity baseball. He then returned to The Hall from 1998-2002.

During the span of 1981-1998, Br. Gregory lived in Guatemala as a missionary and a teacher. He taught at a high school in Santa Maria Visitacion, a village high in the mountains above Lake Atitlan. The school’s primary focus was to prepare its students to become educators while also teaching the students to weave, tailor, bake, raise livestock, and other trades.

Brother Gregory made a meaningful impact on the lives of so many. In retirement, he returned to live at The Hall and serve as moderator of the alumni association.
