Miss Hall's School, located in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, is a selective independent school for girls in grades 9–12. Founded in 1898 by Mira Hinsdale Hall, a graduate of Smith College, it was one of the first girls' boarding schools established in New England.

''The Jewel of Medina'' In 2008 Spellberg was involved in a controversy over Sherry Jones's (author) historical novel ''The Jewel of Medina''. Random House, w ...
