Calvert Hall College High School and President Brother John Kane, FSC, Ed.D. announced the selection of six inductees to the Calvert Hall - Hall of Fame. 

Dear Alumni, Parents, Friends and Benefactors,

Happy Spring!  I hope you and your family are well. This year, the 67 LaSalle students and 7 LaSalle teachers have had a more normal year for the first time since March 2020.  We have been in person five days a week since September and recently moved to masks optional.  Students and teachers are happy to be back together.

 

If I had to chose one teacher that had a profound impact on me at The Hall, it would have to be Mr. Stephen Lavezza.  He was my English Literature teacher; I was in his home room, and he started the photography club.  In all instances, he just made learning fun.  His lectures were stuff of legend:  dressing up as King Arthur, playing songs like “American Pie” and “Piano Man” to illustrate how to tell a story.  He was all about capturing the audience, of making them want to hang on every word.  I loved how he could have a conversation with a single student or 300 students, and it was exactly the same…we hung on every last word.  He showed me the power of words and conversation and he helped develop my love of capturing an image.  Calvert Hall is full of teachers like him and that’s one of the many reasons why it’s such a special place.

It is with great sorrow that Calvert Hall shares with you news regarding the passing on Saturday, February 19, 2022, of former Calvert Hall faculty member, Br. John Lawless, FSC.

Thank you so much to Jeannie Kihn and Doug Heidrick for the invite to share a bit about my career in this month’s alumni blog.

 

I can’t say enough about what the Calvert Hall community has meant to my career, my family, and my life in general.

 

Growing up my father, Buz Baetz (‘65) would lovingly say to my brothers (Brad ‘86/ Nick ‘95) and I that we had two choices for high school, we could either go to Calvert Hall or walk to Loyola.
