Honoring Visionary Leadership: Br. John Kane, FSC, Ed.D.

Brother John Kane, FSC, Ed.D., President of Calvert Hall College High School, has been inducted into The Daily Record’s Most Admired CEOs Circle of Leadership—a distinction reserved for those who have earned the honor three times through outstanding leadership, vision, and service.
Brother John’s leadership embodies the Lasallian mission—rooted in faith, intellect, and integrity. Since becoming President in 2014, he has revitalized every dimension of Calvert Hall, guiding our community through growth, innovation, and care:
  • Led the Hall 175 Capital Campaign, surpassing its $28M goal and raising more than $30 million to strengthen scholarships and endowments.
  • Increased net assets by 125% and reduced institutional debt by nearly 40%.
  • Expanded enrollment and financial aid, ensuring accessibility for students across 120+ zip codes.
  • Elevated compensation and professional growth opportunities for faculty and staff—because “listening, trust, and shared leadership are key to any success we have.”
Brother John’s approach is simple yet profound: “You have to make people feel part of the process and listened to. Building a culture of care and understanding is critical to any success we have.”

As we approach Calvert Hall’s 181th anniversary, we celebrate Brother John’s continued commitment to shaping a future defined by compassion, strategic foresight, and community impact.

Congratulations, Brother John, on this well-deserved recognition—and thank you for your unwavering dedication to leading with faith and purpose.
