Rogers Hall School was a college preparatory finishing school for girls with day and boarding students in Lowell, Massachusetts. Founded by Emily and Elizabeth Rogers, who donated their family's property for the school, it was open for 80 years until 1973. Its first principal, Mrs. E.P. Underhill, remained at the school for 18 years.[1]

The school's literary magazine was known as Splinters.[2][3]

The property is now an apartment complex for seniors and people with disabilities.[4]

The school archives are in the collection of the University of Massachusetts at Lowell.[5]
