250 years of Rosemont
Did you know our school is older than the country? It's true, by two full months and some spare days. Rosemont opened in April of 1776, when Lady Augusta Evercrest, a wealthy socialite from England, founded an academy for Latin, anatomy and "the study of the human soul" (nobody in the library could tell us what that one was).
An Evercrest ran the school for generations, until Reginald Evercrest IV fell sick and died in 1921 and left it to a board of directors. Then in 1993 the board hired Phineas Evercrest, the first Evercrest headmaster in over seventy years, and the first ever who doesn’t own the place. We asked him how that feels.
He just smiled.
