Baltimore City College (BCC), also referred to as The Castle on the Hill, The College, and more commonly as City, is a public secondary school in Baltimore, Maryland, U.S. that focuses on the humanities and liberal arts. City is the third oldest public high school in the United States. [1][2][3][4]

BCC is predated by the English High School of Boston (1829) and the Central High School of Philadelphia (1836). Established in 1839 the school was housed in four different buildings in downtown Baltimore until its final move to its current 38 acre campus in the Waverly section of north Baltimore in 1928.

Though not actually a college, since it lacks the authority to present its graduates with baccalureate degrees, Baltimore City College was the first public secondary school in the state of Maryland. Since its creation, nearly 170 years ago, the school has maintained a strong academic tradition and boasts many notable alumni including a Nobel Laureate, a Wolf Prize recipient, Pulitzer Prize winners, famous authors and entertainers, as well as many leaders in state and national politics and business. A long standing rivalry exists between City and Baltimore Polytechnic Institute, though centered around the annual City-Poly football game, the rivalry extends to other athletics as well as academics.

City is a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence (1999-2000)[5], one of only two secondary schools in Baltimore City to receive the award, a Maryland Blue Ribbon High School, Maryland Character Education High School of the Year (1999) and a National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) Breakthrough High School (2003). In the May 2007 Newsweek report of the nation's top 1200 schools, City ranked 256 [6]and was ranked 206 in the 2006 report.[7] Admission to City is based on a combination of grades and competitive examinations. Though established as an all boys school for the study of the classics, City became coeducational in 1978, upon the renovation of the facility.

History

Main article: History of Baltimore City College
Rendering of the Baltimore City College building on Holliday and Fayette streets circa 1869

The creation of a male high school "in which the higher branches of English and classical literature only should be taught", was authorized unanimously by the City Council of Baltimore, on March 7, 1839.[8] Accordingly, a building on what was then Courtland Street (now Preston Gardens at St. Paul Place) was acquired to serve as the new high school. The school opened it doors on October 20, 1839 with 46 students and one teacher, Nathan C. Brooks. The school was housed in three different locations in its first three years of existence before returning to the original building on Courtland Street. Finally, in 1843 the City Council allocated $23,000 to acquire "Assembly Rooms" at the northwestern corner of Fayette and Holliday streets for the school.[9] In 1850 the City Council granted the board of school commissioners the right to confer graduates of the school with certificates.[10] The following year the school held its first commencement ceremony in 1851.

In 1865, in accordance with a recommendation from the Board of Commissioners of the Baltimore City public schools, the school began offering a five year track.[11] The addition of the five year track was the beginning of a process aimed at elevating the school to a college and allowing it to grant its graduates degrees. The following year on October 9, 1866, as a part of this process, the school was renamed "The Baltimore City College" (BCC) by act of the City Council of Baltimore.[12] Despite the change, the school was never granted the power to grant its graduates degrees.

The building on Fayette and Holliday streets had been in a state of decline for two decades. However, it was not until 1873, when a fire spread from the Holliday street theater to the "Assembly Rooms", that the City Council of Baltimore finally decided to expend the resources to erect a building for City College. A lot was acquired on Howard street opposite Centre street and the City Council allocated $150,000 for the construction of the new building.[13] The new English Gothic revival-styled building was dedicated on February 1, 1875 and the school moved the following week.[14]

City College's Tudor Gothic building lasted until 1892 when it was undermined by the construction of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad tunnel from Camden Station to Mount Royal Station, and collapsed.[15] In 1895, the new structure, designed by the architects Baldwin and Pennington, was erected on the site. This new building quickly became overcrowded and an annex was established on 26th Street. This addition, however, did not help with the increase in school-aged youth beginning to attend City by World War I. During the 1920s, a campaign was begun by the school's alumni to provide a proper building, and in 1926 ground was broken for a massive Collegiate Gothic stone castle at 33rd Street and The Alameda. This new structure cost almost 3 million dollars.[16]

The school began admitting African-American students following the landmark ruling Brown v. Board of Education. In September of 1954, ten African-American students entered City College [17] The administration also sent two African-American men, Eugene Parker and Pierre Davis, to teach at City in 1956. Eugene Parker would end up teaching at the school for 30 years and Pierre Davis, after teaching for one year, came back as City's first black principal in 1971.[18]

In 1978, after having undergone its first major capital renovations, the all-male high school welcomed young women for the first time. The all male tradition did not end easily; alumni had argued for the uniqueness of a single-sex educational system and even managed to convince the task force studying the issue to vote 11-6 in favor of keeping the all-male tradition. But the Board of School Commissioners, in a stunning reversal, voted to admit women citing Constitutional concerns.[19] Today, young women outnumber young men at City.

Facilities

Baltimore City College stands on a 38 acre site in northeast Baltimore at the intersection of 33rd street and the Alameda.[20] The campus consists of two main buildings, the Gothic castle, which sits in the center of the campus, and the power plant to the east of the castle. In addition to providing the building with heat, the power plant originally housed five work shops: an electrical shop, a mechanical shop, a metal shop, a printing shop, and a wood shop.[21] However, the the castle is the only building currently in use by the school. Both buildings were designed by the architects Buckler and Fenhagen. Behind the main building is Alumni Field— City's football stadium.

Historic landmark

On June 30, 2003, Baltimore City College's current building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.[22] The listing of the building coincided with its 75th anniversary. The previous location of City College on Howard Street is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[23] On April 24th, 2007 the Castle on the Hill earned the additional distinction of being a Baltimore City Landmark. This new status means that the building’s exterior cannot be altered without approval of the city Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation.[24]

Academics

Throughout most of the 20th century the college preparatory curriculum at City was divided into two tracks: the "A" course and the "B" course. Though both tracks were intended to provide students with the skills necessary for college, the "A" course was supposed to be more rigorous. However, in the early 1990s Principal Antenson removed the two tier system because he believed it to be racially discriminatory.[25] In 1998 the academic program took on the general form in which it exists today, when Principal Wilson introduced the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IB Program) into the 11th and 12th grade curricula.[26] The IB Program is a comprehensive, liberal arts program that must be completed in students’ junior and senior years. Students now have the option to pursue City College's standard college preparatory curriculum, the IB Program, or a combination of the two.

However, in 2007 opposition to the continuation of the IB Program arose. Members of the Baltimore City College Alumni Association argued that the IB Program was diverting a significant amount of the school's resources, in order to benefit a fraction of the student population.[27] Only approximately 30 students are in the full IB Diploma Program at City College. Some members also argued that the rigidity of the program did not give students enough flexibility. Citing these concerns, the alumni association encouraged the school to replace the IB Program with the so called "A course" and expand the number of Advanced Placement courses offered.[27] The alumni association's recommendation, though non-binding, was intended to persuade the school to terminate the IB program and replace it with a more equitable and flexible curriculum. Nevertheless, the school administration is moving ahead with plans to expand the IB Program by incorporating the IB Middle Years Program into the 9th and 10th grade curricula.[25]

The standard Baltimore City College curriculum requires students to complete the following:

Students at City have the option of taking standard or honors level courses in the college preparatory curriculum through their sophomore year. Prior to their junior year, students must decide on a specific track. Students have the option of beginning the IB Diploma Program or continuing the college preparatory curriculum. Those students, who wish to pursue the IB Diploma, must devote their course of study entirely to IB courses. However, those students, who continue with the college preparatory track, can choose to enroll in specific IB courses and earn IB certificates in those subjects, enroll in AP courses, or enroll in standard level courses. Students who complete either course of study receive a Baltimore City College diploma in addition to their Maryland State Diplomas.

City offers 6 AP courses and 23 IB courses, as well as IB Theory of Knowledge.[26] Both programs provide students with the opportunity to engage in rigorous learning so as to better prepare them for the challenges of college and offer some students the opportunity to earn college credit. The programs have also contributed to the academic ranking of the school. In the 1999-2000 academic year, City was recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as a National Blue Ribbon School.[28] In the May 2007 Newsweek report of the nation's top 1200 schools, City was ranked 256 [6]and in the 2006 report City was ranked 206.[7] The expansion of the number of AP and IB courses offered allowed City to perform well in the Newsweek rankings, which are based heavily on the number of AP and IB courses offered.

Students wishing to enroll in City College must apply to the school in the 8th grade. Enrollment is open to both residents and non-residents of Baltimore City, though non-residents must pay tuition.[29] Eligibility for enrollment is based on a composite score that is determined by the Baltimore City Public School System.[29] The school system generates the composite score based on a student's grades in the 7th grade and first quarter of the 8th grade, and a student's performance on a national standardized test, with the student's grades receiving double the weight as the test scores.[29] Applicants receive written notification of their status in March.

The enrollment at City College in 2007 was 1353 students.[30] 504 of the students were males,[30] representing approximately 37.25% of the student populations. The remaining 849 students were females,[30] representing approximately 62.75% of the student population. 1229 students identified themselves as African-American,[30] comprising 90.84% of the student population. An additional 105 students identified themselves as White,[30] comprising 7.76% of the student population. The remaining 1.4% of the population identified themselves as Hispanic, Asian, or American Indian.[30]

Extracurricular activities

Athletics

During the late 1880s, inter-scholastic sports became a feature of school life and a number of teams were begun in various sports. However, the formal organization of an athletic program did not begin until 1895.[31] During the early years of the athletic program, City College played mainly against college teams because few other secondary schools existed in Maryland. For example, City College's 1895 football schedule included St. John's College, Swarthmore College, the United States Naval Academy, University of Maryland, and Washington College.[32] The current City College athletic program consists of 6 men's varsity teams, 6 women's varsity teams, and 5 co-ed teams.

Football rivalry

File:Bccknights.jpg

In 1889, the first football game was played between City College and the new Manual Training School (1883), which was later renamed the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute (Poly).[33] Little is known about the first game, except that it was played in Clifton Park between the City JV team and Poly with City emerging as the victor.[34] A scrimmage game continued to be played for almost 15 more years until the first victory by Poly in 1904. The annual meeting of the two teams has lead to one of the longest continuous public high school football rivalries in the nation.[34] In November 2006 City and Poly clashed in the 118th City-Poly football game.[35]

One of the most memorable City-Poly games occurred on Thanksgiving Day 1965, at Baltimore's Memorial Stadium, with some 25,000 fans and alumni. City beat Poly 52-6, and completed a 10-0 season with the team being ranked eighth in the nation by a national sports poll.[36] City's 52-6 victory over Poly in that game is the largest margin of victory in the history of the series.[35] Former Baltimore Mayor Kurt Schmoke was the quarterback and Maryland Delegate Curt Anderson was the captain of that team. The game is no longer played on Thanksgiving or at Memorial Stadium, but is now located at the home of the Baltimore Ravens, M&T Bank Stadium, in downtown Baltimore. With 2006's 44-8 win by City, the series total sits with Poly leading 58-53-6 (counting the first 15 scrimmages won by City).

Coach George Petrides, a City College alumnus, has been the head football coach at City for 32 years.[37] During his tenure at City College, Petrides led the team through a 29 game winning streak— the longest consecutive winning streak in the history of Maryland football.[38] Petrides also led the team to two consecutive Maryland Scholastic Association A Conference championships in 1991 and 1992.[38] On September 11, 2006, Petrides was honored as the Baltimore Ravens High School Coach of the Week for the third time.[37]

Lacrosse

The informal playing of lacrosse began at City in 1879, when a group of students decided to field a team. This continued annually until 1891.[39] In 1902 the students took the effort to make Lacrosse a permanent fixture of school. They were successful and Baltimore City College became the first public high school in Maryland to play lacrosse.[40] However, until City's rival Poly fielded a team in 1912, City was forced to play against college lacrosse teams. Lacrosse has now been played at City for over 100 years and continues to be major feature of the athletics program. Currently, both men's and women's lacrosse are played at City.

Choir

City College's choir consists of four groups: the Mixed Chorus, the Concert Choir, the Singin'/Swingin' Knights, and the Knights and Daze Show Choir.[41] The Mixed Choir is opened to all students at City College and currently has a membership of approximately 135 students. The Concert Choir is a more selective group consisting of about 50 students, who must audition for their places in the choir. The Singin'/Swingin' Knights is an even more selective group composed of 25 students. The Knights and Daze Show Choir is a group of students, who perform a choreographed dance routine while they sing. With the exception of the Knights and Daze Show Choir, which performs jazz and pop music, the choir's repertoire mainly consists of gospel music and spirituals.[41]

In recent years the choir has traveled to Europe on several occasions. The choir made its first trip to Europe in 1999, after receiving an invitation to perform at the Choralfest in Arezzo, Italy.[42] In order to allow all of the members of the Concert Choir to travel to Italy, the choir raised a total of $100,000.[42] In 2003 the choir returned to Italy to perform at the United Nations Convention on Climate Change.[41] In addition to Italy, the choir has also performed in France and Spain.[41]

Speech and debate

Main article: Bancroft Literary Association and Carrollton-Wight Literary Society

Baltimore City College's Speech and Debate Program dates it origins to the Bancroft Literary Association, which was established in 1876.[43] In 1878 a second competing society, the Carrollton Literary Society, was established.[43] That society was later renamed the Carrollton-Wight Literary Society, after its first faculty adviser, Professor Charles Wight. The two societies competed through the 1960s, but became dormant in the 1970s. In 1997 the two societies were resurrected as the Baltimore City College Speech and Debate.[44] The team currently competes in the Baltimore Catholic Forensic League,[45] the Baltimore Urban Debate League,[46] and the National Forensic League.[47] In recent years, the team has had success at the national level, advancing at the Harvard University Invitational Tournament, the National Catholic Forensic League Grand National Tournament, and the National Forensic League National Speech Tournament.

Publications

The Green Bag

File:Green Bag.jpg
The 2006 Green Bag

The Green Bag is the senior class annual at Baltimore City College. Published continuously since 1896, The Green Bag is the oldest publication still in existence at City.[48] Historically the Governor of Maryland submitted all political appointments in a green carpetbag for ratification. The Green Bag was named by its founder and first editor G. Warfield Hobbs, Jr., president of the senior class, in recognition of the role of City College graduates in political leadership. The first yearbooks contained sketches of faculty and seniors, and included recollections, anecdotes, stories, and quotes significant to the student body. It was not until 1948 that The Green Bag began to feature underclassmen. In 2007 The Green Bag released its first full-color edition.[49]

The most controversial issue of the Green Bag was published in 1900. Members of the senior class had decided to make fun of the professors in the Green Bag. When the school board was alerted to the matter, it attempted to censor the edition. The school board passed a resolution requiring the Green Bag to be reviewed by Principal Soper, however the yearbook had already been printed. In defiance of the school board, the editors refused to have the edition censored and reprinted. The school board responded by withholding the diplomas of six of the editors of the Green Bag and the business manager and by preventing the school from holding a public commencement ceremony. Eventually, one of the boys expelled, Clarence Keating Bowie, became a member of the school board in 1926.[50]

The Collegian

File:Collegian.jpg
The Collegian,Vol. 77.1

The Collegian is the school newspaper of City. The Collegian was first printed in 1929 as a bi-weekly newspaper.[51] Though several other publications existed in 1929, The Collegian is the only publication other than the Green Bag still in existence. The paper was originally managed and printed by the students of City. During the 1930s, The Collegian won numerous awards including second place in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association's annual contest for five years in a row.[52] However, in recent years interest for the publication by the school administration has waned. In the past two years, only two issues of The Collegian have been produced as a result of budget cuts. Additionally, students no longer write for The Collegian as an extracurricular activity, instead those students enrolled in the journalism course write for the newspaper.

Notable alumni and attendees

Main article: List of Baltimore City College people

Since its creation in 1839, Baltimore City College has graduated thousands of young men and now women. Many of these individuals have left the school to become leaders in the diverse career paths they have chosen. Hundreds of business, civic and cultural leaders have graduated from BCC, including the man whose architectural firm designed its current building.

Alma Maters

Fight Song

"City Forever" was written in 1923 by Eugene W. Milby, a member of the senior class.[56] It was sung for the first time at the 1923 City-Poly football game, when City defeated Poly 27-0. The song was then popularized in the 1930s by Principal Phillip Edwards, who called for the singing of "City Forever" at the close of each assembly.[56] That tradition has continued to this day.

"City Forever"

City, forever, we'll praise her to the skies.
We'll fight for ole City until we do or die!
rah! rah! rah!
Dear alma mater, loyal we'll always be.
City forever and for victory!

"Onward City" (same melody as "On Wisconsin")

Onward City, onward City,
Crash right through that line!
Take the ball round Polytechnic,
touchdown sure this time.
rah! rah! rah!
While we're cheering,
while we're cheering,
on to victory!
We'll win another game for BCC!

School Song

"The Castle On The Hill" (version prior to the admission of women)

How firm she stands with tower high
the Castle on the Hill.
Her sons have pledged their faith to her,
to ever do her will.
Forever let us praise her name,
forever let us be.
The stalwart men of City College;
dear ole BCC.

"The Castle On The Hill" (current version)

How firm you stand with tower high
the Castle on the Hill.
For we have pledged our faith to you,
to ever do your will.
Forever let us praise your name,
forever let us be.
The stalwart hearts of City College;
dear ole BCC.
