Police in Maryland are investigating after a high school sports field that was vandalized with vile racist graffiti including the N-word.

The graffiti was discovered on Sunday morning by a 15-year-old man, daubed across the football field at Calvert High School in Prince Frederick, Maryland, according to The Southern Maryland Chronicle.

The words "f--- n------" and "n------ suck" were among the messages sprayed onto the field, while other areas of the school's campus were also vandalized with graffiti.

"We are sad and angry that these racist messages occurred on school grounds," Calvert's Superintendent, Dr. Daniel Curry, said.

"This racist language hurts the school system and the Calvert County community. Calvert County Public Schools promotes an anti-racist environment and denounces hate and discrimination."

Senator Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr., added: "The actions of the perpetrators do not represent our community and I wholeheartedly condemn this heinous act and call on all elected officials and community leaders to join together in this condemnation."

Police believe that the vandalism was conducted during the night of Saturday August 8, however the culprits and motive remain unknown, reports The Chronicle.

In response to the attack, Calvert High School spelled out the words "No hate here" with school jerseys on the field.

The school also tweeted an image with the words: "Let's respond with grace even when others don't."
