- Rogers High School is located in west Toledo, Ohio, United States. It is also known as Robert S. Rogers High School. It has been part of Toledo Public Schools since 1964, when Adams Township was annexed by the city. The school motto is "Writing success stories... one student at a time." As of 2008, the school principal is Kelly Welch.
- History of Rogers High School
-
In 1938, Toledo native Robert S. Rogers was elected to the Adams Township School Board. Frustrated by the fact that the township’s teens were forced to attend high school in neighboring districts, Rogers advocated construction of a township high school – not just for the sake of convenience, but to create community in the township.
- Rogers died in 1944, but his dream came to fruition in 1956 when 500 students walked into the school named after him at the corner of Nebraska Ave. and McTigue Drive. At the time, it was everything educators, students, and families could want for their suburban, nearly rural, community. Rogers High indeed provided a common identity for the Adams Township community – to the point where Joseph’s Supermarket donated a rambunctious live ram (“Bunky”) as the school’s mascot!
- What Rogers couldn’t have dreamed was the growth of the neighborhoods flanking Reynolds Road as Toledo’s economy boomed after World War II. By 1964, Adams Township entered into an annexation agreement with the City of Toledo, and in 1966 Rogers High School was reborn as a Toledo Public School – complete with a million dollar expansion that included the city’s only high school planetarium, a spacious library, cafeteria, and a gargantuan West Gymnasium that was the envy of the City League. In 1981, the school absorbed the majority of the students of the former Spencer-Sharples High School several miles to the west after numerous attempts to merge the Spencer-Sharples Local School District with neighboring, predominantly white, districts failed in a pattern a 1975 U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare report would say violated U.S. civil rights laws and created a segregated district.
- As the children of the post-war Baby Boom grew, so did Rogers High School. By the 1970s, Rogers had adopted a split schedule to accommodate some 2,400 students. In 1976, the building was expanded a third time with the state-of-the-art Rogers Skills Center added onto the front of the building.
- Demolition of the old Rogers High School began in October 2007. Work is expected to be complete by February 2008.

Rogers High School's Athletic Hall of Fame was instituted in 2003 to honor the school's notable athletes and coaches through its 50 year history. Rogers Hall of Fame information is available at http://www.RogersHallofFame.org
- In November 2006 the Athletic Director of Rogers High School chose to disband the existing board and it's members. Though the non-profit organization still exists, they no longer nominate and vote for newly inducted members. The old board does not recognize inductees past 2006 and for that reason the website shows no new members.
