Calvert Hall College High School(also known as Calvert Hall or CHC) is a Catholic preparatory high school for boys located in Towson, Maryland, USA. It's mission is to make their students "men of faith, men of intellect, and men of integrity."
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.
Calvert Hall faces its cross-town rival, Loyola Blakefield, in the annual Turkey Bowl football game at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.
CHC participates in the MIAA 'A' conference in all its sports, along with the Baltimore Catholic League for basketball.
