Calvert Hall College High School (also known as Calvert Hall or CHC) is a Catholic college preparatory high school for boys located in Towson, Maryland, United States. The school's mission is to make its students "men of intellect, men of faith, and men of integrity." It is located in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Baltimore.
The school was established in 1845 by the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools as a private Catholic college preparatory high school for boys and is the oldest Christian Brothers school in the United States. The third oldest, St. John's College High School in Washington, D.C. was founded by Christian Brothers from this school in 1851.
Among its academic offerings is the McMullen Scholars program, a four-year advanced level curriculum requiring extra coursework in Latin, Humanities, and a senior independent project. Additionally, a program for assisting students with learning differences exists (the La Salle program).

From the loose earth and rub against his eyes
A fist of trees, and the whole country tremble
In the exultant labor of his rise;”

Each hurries toward his home and sporting-place.”
