Academy at Penguin Hall
The Academy at Penguin Hall is an independent, college preparatory high school for young women, located in Wenham, Massachusetts, United States. The school was founded in 2015 and serves young women, including the North Shore and the northern region of the Boston metropolitan area.
History
The stone manor house that serves as The Academy at Penguin Hall's home was originally built in 1929 by architect Harrie T. Lindeberg for Ruby Boyer Miller, a progressive-minded Detroit socialite. Her family owned the Burroughs Adding Machine. Miller summered at Penguin Hall, along with her children. In 1962, Penguin Hall was purchased by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur and became a home for educating women. Jim Mullen of Mullen Advertising purchased Penguin Hall in the late 1980s and used it as their headquarters until they relocated in 2009. The dedication ceremony for Penguin Hall was attended by Lt. Governor of Massachusetts Karyn Polito as well as State Senators Joan Lovely and Bruce Tarr, and State Representatives Bradford Hill and Lori Ehrlich.[1] and Women in History.[2]
