PRINCE FREDERICK, Md. – Racist graffiti spray painted on the football field at Calvert High School, located in Prince Frederick, Maryland, was discovered on August 9 by individuals exercising on the athletic fields. In addition, an outdoor classroom was broken into and damaged, and other areas of the school campus were vandalized with graffiti.

Law enforcement officials estimate that the vandalism was perpetrated during the night of August 8.

Dr. Daniel D. Curry, Superintendent, said, “We are sad and angry that these racist messages occurred on school grounds. This racist language hurts the school system and the Calvert County community. Calvert County Public Schools promotes an anti-racist environment and denounces hate and discrimination.”

Congressman Steny H. Hoyer said, “The racist graffiti painted on the Calvert High School football field over the weekend is disgusting and abhorrent. This act of hate and bigotry in our community is horrific, and cannot be condemned strongly enough. I urge local law enforcement to bring those responsible for this heinous act to justice. Hate has no place in Southern Maryland.”
