Athletics
In 1993, Patterson, along with all the other Baltimore City public schools, left the Maryland Scholastic Association (MSA) to join the Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association (MPSSAA). The move meant that Baltimore City Public Schools would be able to compete with the rest of the state's public schools in a variety of sports arenas. Since the move, the Clippers have been to the state semi-finals in 1994, 1999, 2004 and to the quarter-finals in 1993, 1995, 1996, 1998 and 2001.[4] In Basketball Patterson has joined other East Baltimore Giants Lake Clifton and Dunbar as they won the State 3A Championship in 2012.(http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/high-school/bal-boys-basketball-aquille-carr-leads-patterson-to-its-first-state-championship-20120310,0,1942441.story) They used to have who many say is the most exciting player in the country Aquille Carr.
