Rowland Hall-St. Mark's School, independent, private school in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States
Rowland Hall-St. Mark's School is a historic campus in Salt Lake City with multiple locations, including one near the University of Utah and a newer consolidated campus being developed. The buildings blend traditional brick structures with modern additions, set among green lawns and mature trees.
The school was founded in the late 1800s as St. Mark's Grammar School and later occupied a private residence from the early 1860s. It became independent of the Episcopal Church in the 1930s and turned coeducational in the 1960s, expanding its mission significantly.
The school's name reflects its origins as a religious institution connected to the Episcopal Church. The campus remains a gathering place where families and generations of students have formed lasting bonds through shared traditions and school events.
The school occupies multiple locations around Salt Lake City, with main campuses accessible to visitors on certain occasions. Reaching the site by car is straightforward, with the original campus near residential neighborhoods and the newer location more centrally positioned.
During the Great Depression, the school faced financial hardship but survived thanks to parents and alumni who took on responsibility for its support. This demonstrates how community commitment has been essential to the institution's survival through challenging periods.
