The Calvert County Sheriff’s Office, in conjunction with the Administration of Calvert High School, is actively investigating an incident that occurred this morning at approximately 10:10 a.m. on school grounds.
Preliminary investigation revealed a confrontation ensued among several students regarding a matter unrelated to the school. The confrontation escalated and other students joined the altercation.

Any physical altercation on school grounds is deeply concerning, and we are committed to thoroughly investigating the incident, implementing necessary measures to prevent future occurrences, and providing support to those affected. Our focus remains steadfast on fostering a safe and secure learning environment for all students.”
We would like to remind parents/guardians if you see or hear something, say something.
