Calvert has stayed true to the educational tenets and philosophy on which it was founded in 1897, when a young Virgil Hillyer helped establish a tradition of innovation. The happiness and achievement of our students, the success of our graduates, and the deep bonds of affection our alumni maintain for Calvert throughout their lives can be attributed to the legacy Mr. Hillyer left behind. The Hillyer Society, Calvert's planned giving recognition society, honors Mr. Hillyer and seeks to perpetuate the core values he helped establish 125 years ago. Throughout the years, members of the Hillyer Society have helped reshape the School. New planned gifts - both large and modest - will ensure a lasting legacy. These types of gifts will help Calvert remain a leading education institution as we begin the promise of our next 125 years. In honor of Calvert's commemorative anniversary, your investment will leave a lasting impact on the School.
