The Rock Castle School is a historic two-story masonry building on Prospect Street in Webster, Massachusetts, constructed in 1871 as the town's second high school. Built of light-hued polychrome granite with brick quoining, the structure exhibits Italianate styling characteristic of the period, featuring high, narrow round-arch windows and a projecting central pavilion crowned by a gable end with an oculus window. After serving as the town's high school until 1905, the building housed various public and private educational programs intermittently through 1972. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989, it has since been converted to residential use.
