About

What is Rogers Scholars?

The Rogers Scholars Program at Hutchison offers an enriching and inspiring community-based curriculum for our girls.  With an emphasis on experiential learning focusing on Memphis issues, history, and culture, this program empowers girls to consider, reflect and discuss options, solutions and action plans relating to topics such as food insecurity, healthcare, education reform, poverty, and social justice.  In forums held beyond our school walls, the girls' intellectual curiosity grows and develops through an invigorating process - the process of young minds engaging and gaining knowledge.  Throughout the year, the Rogers Scholars cohort meets with leadership teams from local nonprofit organizations, as well as community leaders and involved citizens, to better understand complex issues that our girls can then confront with confidence and compassion.
