Girls' High School Association (Boston, Mass.)

Hide Profile

The Girls' High School Association, the alumnae association of the Girls' High School, Boston, was first organized during the Civil War to encourage social reunions and promote the welfare of the school. An offshoot, the Samuel Eliot Memorial Association, open to teachers and a minimum of two members of each class, was founded in 1899. The purpose of this secondary organization was to cherish Eliot's memory and ideals, to maintain a Christmas concert, and to record a chronicle of the school.
