short time ago we said goodbye to 294 members of the Class of 2022. We were able to return to the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen for the first time since 2019. These young men battled, persevered, and succeeded in the face of the pandemic. This class and all of our students during the past three years have shown an amazing resiliency. They are a wonderful example of the Brotherhood at The Hall.
The success of our students is not possible without the talent, dedication, and support of our amazing faculty and staff. The heart of a Lasallian school is the relationship developed between students and teachers. We are blessed with faculty and staff who know and believe in the Lasallian Mission of touching hearts. Louis Eckerl III is a prime example of our faculty exemplifying the Lasallian mission. It is hard to believe after 40 years of service he has retired. His commitment is unparalleled, and he will be deeply missed.
As we bid farewell to our seniors, we are already preparing for the arrival of the Class of 2026. Next year’s freshmen class will be Calvert Hall’s largest incoming class in recent years. This reflects not only the great work of our Admissions team but also of the great things happening at Calvert Hall. When 8th grade students visit for their guest days, they almost always point to the interactions in the classrooms between our teachers and students as a highlight of their day. We have wonderful facilities, this is true. Facilities aside, Calvert Hall was and always is about the people.
I want to thank each of you who help celebrate and support The Hall. Our 7th Annual All Day Hall Day was once again a tremendous success raising over $415,000 from more than 1,500 donors in 24 hours. Our capital campaign, Calvert Hall 175, has been well received raising over $20 million in donations and pledges focusing on our endowment so we can continue to make Calvert Hall affordable for a diverse student population.
This edition of The Cardinal focuses on the success of many of our students and alumni. We are truly blessed with God’s love and grace as we know these individuals are a snapshot of so many more who are deserving of recognition. We pledge that we will continue to touch hearts and develop Men of Intellect, Men of Faith, and Men of Integrity.
I hope the summer months provide some time for you to rest and enjoy time with your families!
Sincerely,
Brother John Kane, FSC, Ed.D. President

or forty years Louis Eckerl III has been the athletic director at The Hall. During this time much has changed, but the culture of winning has remained the same. When he first took over the role, sports scores were reported to The Baltimore Sun to be read by the greater community the next morning. Fast forward 14,600 days and scores are reported via real-time to outlets such as Twitter and the school’s livestream.
In 1982, Eckerl inherited an athletics program that offered 10 sports and 18 teams. Eckerl could be seen mowing the playing fields as well as lining them. The department has since grown to 17 sports and 40 teams. There no longer is grass to cut or fields to line as both stadiums and the 16,000 square foot practice fields are artificial surfaces with the lines sown into them.
During his tenure, Calvert Hall has won 300+ conference championships. He was involved in the construction of Paul Russo Angelo Stadium, Crispino Stadium, the multipurpose practice fields, and the AthleticPerformance Center. In 2009, Crispino Stadium was recognized as the National High School Baseball Coaches Association Region 2 Field of the Year in 2009 and 2019 and the National Field of the Year in 2009.
In January 2020, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the median number of years an employee stayed in their role was 4.1 years. When asked why Eckerl chose to grow in his role at Calvert Hall he shared his secret to happiness, “finding a job that you love and you will never work a day in your life.”
Although he looks forward to spending more time with his wife and grandkids, he will miss his colleagues and the students. He went on to state, “I am forever grateful for the opportunity given to me by Br. René Sterner, FSC, and Lou Heidrick, AFSC. I am thankful for the ‘five all-stars’ who helped shape my career – Bill Karpovich, Joe Binder, Reds Hucht, Mark Amatucci, and Augie Miceli. Lastly, I want to thank my wife, Carol, for putting up with me as well as her understanding nature of the amount of time I spent at Calvert Hall.”
Outside of his role as an athletic director, Eckerl is well known as Calvert Hall’s varsity baseball coach. He has been involved with the program since 1982, taking the reigns as head coach in 2002. During his time as head coach, he has won 8 MIAA Championships and been named Coach of the Year by The Baltimore Sun (2005, 2007, 2019), the Maryland State Association of Baseball Coaches Private School (2005, 2007, 2019), the Old Timers Baseball Association of Maryland (2006, 2008), American Baseball Coaches Association Region 2 (2008), and National High School Baseball Coaches Association Region 2 (2005). His team has been ranked #1 by The Baltimore Sun six times and in the top 10 by USA Today twice nationally and five times regionally. In 2016, he was inducted into the Maryland State Association of Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame. He has coached 185 student-athletes who have gone on to play in the collegiate ranks, and 17 who have played professionally. On May 4, 2021, Eckerl earned his 500th career victory and finished his career at the all-time winningest coach at Calvert Hall will 475 wins. He concluded his 23rd year as a head coach with a .759 winning percentage (524-166).
Director of school & college counseling and assistant varsity baseball coach, Brooks Kerr ’87 added, “Lou’s commitment to Calvert Hall is undeniable. Simply, no one gives more of himself to the school and to the students. He has done so much behind the scenes to assist students from helping to find tuition assistance to finding clothes for a student whose family’s home burned down in a fire. He truly cares about the students and Calvert Hall. He should be thought of as one of the legends of Calvert Hall with Binder, Karpovich, Amatucci, Hucht, and Miceli.”
Service is an integral element to the structure and purpose of the Peer Ministry Program and, on a broader scale, our Lasallian Tradition. The five core principles of our LaSallian tradition include the concern for the poor and social justice, quality education, faith in the presence of God, respect for all persons, and an inclusive community. Application of these principles brings our school community together as a Brotherhood, as well as standing together with those on the margins of our society.
This year, Peer Ministry had the opportunity to serve at First Fruits Farm. They provide fresh crops to those in need. For three sophomore retreats, we visited and served those who are less fortunate. All the while, diving deeper into our faith. This was meaningful because of the indirect sacrifice and unseen impact these students were making. It was a great opportunity for our program. We were asked to work as a team, give up our evening to do something we didn’t yet know the impact of that would better the world around us.
As an involved member of Peer Ministry, I have had many opportunities to serve in different ways. I have been a part of multiple service days, including First Fruits Farm. This past February, I had the amazing experience of visiting Camden, New Jersey, on one of our Immersion Trips. Ten of my fellow peer ministers and I were able to engage with the marginalized and impoverished population of Camden. The relationships I was able to build, as we served in middle schools, food shelters, and churches, was inspiring. The immersion trip allowed me to experience the direct impact service provides. I not only came to understand what I hadn’t from previous experiences, but it also enhanced what I did know. In the eyes of our program, I formed relationships with those I served alongside, and through my service experiences, I was able to become a better volunteer, and peer minister.
Consider creating a planned gift. Thoughtfully structured planned gifts are uniquely powerful in sustaining and growing Calvert Hall’s ability to serve those in need, while often affording exceptional financial and tax benefits to our planned giving donors.

This summer marks an important milestone for Calvert Hall’s FBLA club. Tony Kuebler ’22 became the first club member to represent Calvert Hall at the National Leadership Competition and Conference. The national competition and conference (NLC) is the culmination of regional and state competitions. Participants qualify if they finish in the top three in the state in their competition category. The NLC provides competition, workshops, and ample networking opportunities with business leaders and fellow students from every state in the country. Tony competed in the accounting competition and attended the weeklong conference in Chicago at the end of June. This was a rewarding accomplishment for Tony who balanced his FBLA commitment with leadership roles on the varsity Water Polo and Squash teams, YMCA lifeguarding duties, and participation in outside opportunities with the T. Rowe Price High School Experience.
As a national organization, FBLA provides a platform for students to organize and operate a chapter like the way they would organize and operate a business. Calvert Hall is one of the few private schools in the state to have a chapter. Along with competitions, the chapter hosts guest speakers, arranges a stock market competition, and organizes social and service events. FBLA is a natural fit for Calvert Hall given its vast alumni base of business owners and business leaders in the local community and beyond. This coming school year the club is expanding its role and assisting in the operation of CHC’s branch of the First Financial Federal Credit Union. The club looks forward to further growth and greater participation at the NLC in the future.
If you are interested in being a guest speaker for the club, email communications@calverthall.com.

What was your path to becoming the starting safety for the Green Bay Packers?
After high school, I played 4 years at Penn State University. I was drafted in 2015 to the Chicago Bears where I was a 4 year starter. In 2019, my contract was finished with the Bears and the Packers signed me to a big deal in free agency.
You started the “I’m Still Here Foundation” which dedicates resources and increases awareness for Grama’s Brain (Alzheimer’s), Smash Outreach (helps underprivileged children in and out of the classroom), and Next Level Nation (helps young men prepare for collegiate-level football athletically and academically). Why are these initiatives important to you?
I’m passionate about my faith. I’m thankful and, along with hard work, know where my blessings come from. I want to share my blessings with others. I started my foundation based on things I’m passionate about which are Alzheimer’s and the youth . I grew up with a family who always gave back even when we didn’t have a lot to give. My mother worked hard and took care of people. My father worked with kids in the community and my grama was also big in the community. My grama was a big part of my life and had Alzheimer’s. I saw her fight the disease for years until she eventually passed away in 2020. After she passed, I donated a $1,000 for every tackle I made that season. I look to carry on her giving heart through my actions.
Outside of football, what are some of your passions?
Outside of football, I am big on spending as much time as I can with my family. I play other sports such as basketball and have been giving golf a shot. I also have investments and businesses I am continuing to grow including my store. I am part owner of Branded BeSpoke. We have a store in the Towson Town Center. We are a garment manufacturer who specialize in suits and casual wear. That’s something I’m excited about as I have grown to have a heavy interest in business as well as fashion.
What skills or knowledge did you learn at Calvert Hall that you find to be the most useful in your multiple endeavors on and off the field?
Calvert Hall helped me as far as my transition to college. My college courses seemed easy to me because of the academic structure at The Hall. I felt as if I was very prepared and had the tools to succeed.
Where was your favorite place to hang out during frees?
The cafeteria because I’m always hungry.
DJ Tay James ’05 wants to know - What was your favorite food in the cafe?
