Cardinal Gibbons School

The Cardinal Gibbons School is a Private Catholic school for boys, serving grades 6-12 in Baltimore, Maryland. The Cardinal Gibbons School occupies the campus of the former St. Mary's Industrial School for Boys of the City of Baltimore which was opened by the Archdiocese of Baltimore in 1866. It closed in June of 1950. St. Mary's most notable student was George Herman "Babe" Ruth. The baseball field Babe Ruth played on while attending St. Mary's is still in use today. George Bauman, the late reporter at WJZ-TV in Baltimore coined the phrase, "If Yankee Stadium is the house Ruth built, then St. Mary's is the house that built Ruth" during a video segment he completed on Babe Ruth and St. Mary's in conjunction with Major League Baseball's All-Star Game being played at Oriole Park at Camden Yards in 1993. Two of the buildings present on the campus of The Cardinal Gibbons School remain from the days of St. Mary's: the Fine Arts Building and the main school building which replaced the former school building destroyed by fire in April of 1919.
