The Leadership Institute, one of Calvert Hall College High School’s prestigious signature programs, has undergone a program name change. The program has been renamed to The Frank Bramble Sr. `66 Leadership Institute in memory of the school’s late Interim President and Board of Trustees Chair.
The program, founded in 2016, enables students to explore leaders whose careers span the spectrum of education, business, organization, community outreach, religious vocation, and military. Flexible and inclusive, this opportunity allows students to gain practical leadership skills, learn and grow. President, Br. John Kane, FSC, Ed.D, stated, “The Frank Bramble Sr. `66 Leadership Institute name change is a wonderful way to honor the memory of Frank. Anyone who knew Frank understood his love for Calvert Hall and his commitment to providing a high-quality Lasallian Catholic education to a diverse community of young men. This name change reflects the influential man he was and allows for his legacy to continue to impact the lives of others.”
