Baltimore, MD:An anonymous alumnus has donated $1 million to Calvert Hall College High School to create a scholarship endowment to support students engaged in the arts.
“Our benefactor is directly investing in the lives of our students,” said Brother John Kane, FSC, Ed.D., Calvert Hall College President. “This remarkable gift has given us the momentum to begin the quiet phase of a transformational campaign to support our core mission – providing a comprehensive education to a diverse student body.

Calvert Hall offers a comprehensive arts program. There are four instrumental ensembles including the four-time national marching band champions, four vocal music ensembles, and a prominent theatre program and visual arts. Brian Ecton, director of instrumental music and fine arts shared, “This generous gift allows for students to partake in our renowned arts program.
