The “Comet Leader” awards was presented to two students who started a popular school club in the fall.
Two Catonsville High School juniors were honored Friday with a newly created school award. Rachel Albert and Hannah Lane were awarded with the first-ever Comet Leader awards for starting the school’s ballroom dance club this past fall at a school assembly Friday morning.

Prior to the Rolling Road Golf Club, which opened with a nine-hole golf course in 1919, the summer residents of Catonsville enjoyed a country club set on 18 acres of property sold for the purpose by John L.
