This edition of Names & Numbers highlights good news in our Catholic schools.

46,000
The square footage in St. Ignatius Hall, the new addition to Loyola Blakefield in Towson. The major component in a $32 million capital campaign, it includes a learning commons, 10 classrooms, two science labs, an art studio, music room, engineering lab and cyber science lab. It serves as the primary home for students in grades six through eight.

$40,000
The grant from the Knott Foundation to Calvert Hall College High School in Towson, in support of its campus ministry program, specifically, for a wireless in-ear monitoring system for the liturgy band, immersion trips, senior retreat transportation, a rising Class of 2024 retreat, as well as support of the Lenten Small Group and the Peer Ministry programs.

2024
The graduation class at Mount St. Joseph High School for Bryson Tucker, who earned a spot on the USA Basketball under-16 team during tryouts in Houston. The 12-player team was to compete in the FIBA Americas U-16 championship tournament in Xapala, Mexico, in late August. Tucker averaged 17 points, seven rebounds and three assists as a freshman, when he was a second-team Baltimore Catholic League all-star.

Brian Reese

1998
The year Brian Reese earned All-American lacrosse honors as a defenseman for the University of Maryland. He is the new coach at Maryvale Preparatory School in Lutherville. For the last eight years he coached at Glenelg Country School and was on the Maryland staff in 2010, when the Terps’ women won the NCAA title.

200
The projected enrollment of The Loyola School in the 2025-26 school year, when the initiative of St. Ignatius Parish in Baltimore and the Jesuit USA East Province fulfills the planned expansion of what was the Loyola Early Learning Center into a preK-grade four school serving low-­income children. A dozen students who graduated from the LELC pre-K Aug. 19 will become the first kindergarten class, and on track to be in its first class of fourth-graders.

Pamela C. Custer

35
Years of nonprofit experience brought to the Women’s Education Alliance (WEA) by Pamela C. Custer, its new president. Custer, the retired marketing director of Gordon Feinblatt LLC, served on many boards, including those of St. Vincent de Paul of Baltimore, The Franciscan Center and the Jewish Recovery House. The WEA provides scholarships and support services to Catholic community schools serving economically disadvantaged families in Baltimore City.
