Loyola Blakefield, a Catholic, all-boys middle and high school, was founded in 1852. The Jesuit institution prides itself on its mission to create "men for others." The school draws students from as far away as Howard County and southern Pennsylvania. The quiet campus, which overlooks North Charles Street, typically sends 100 percent of its graduating seniors to college, according to statistics on its website. Loyola's alumni include author Tom Clancy, Maryland attorney general Joseph Curran and sportscaster Jim McKay.
