History

Rogersville Synodical College
Rogersville City School is a preK-8, one-school, school system located in Rogersville, TN. Formerly the site of the Odd Fellows College for Women and later the Rogersville Synodical College, the current structure was built in 1929 following a fire that completely destroyed the historical Synodical College structure.  Previously housing both the grammar and high schools for the town, it began serving students only through eighth grade when the new building for Rogersville High School opened in 1950.
