Roosevelt High School

"This school has changed my life and I'm thankful. The teachers and the coaches are really nice. And being part of the soccer team has really showed me how to be my brothers keeper and it has turned me into a young responsible adult. This is the best High School ever!!"

"It's a public high school what do you expect. The new buildings are nice and the getto reputation is not all that it was hyped up to be. The magnet programs are fun but they are not for everybody. I'm a short white nerdy kid and neither me or any of my friends have ever been bullied. The gang violence is mostly done at the bushes chicken across the street not on school grounds. Overall a pretty good school if you dont get yourself into trouble."

"I have taught English for 24+ years, and I really have enjoyed the last 4 years at Roosevelt! The faculty and staff are awesome! TR Rider Pride! I am glad to be here!"

"I love this school. I used to go here and its a really good place if you want to learn another language. The school is preatty big and the teachers are nice and fun. The are many types of people here and many ethnic groups. So you always have a friend."

"The difference between my kids and others is me. I'm active and in close communication with their teachers. I may not know everything they do but i put the fear of God in them. I've taught my children right from wrong. Any school can sell drugs and they do. Its the patents responsibility to know what's going on. Another difference is teaching your children not to be stupid enough to take drugs and not to do the dumb things that kids can do. One of my daughters has graduated from TR with a 4.0 GPA. She is a Junior in college and is well on her way to a bright future. I owe so much to the teachers and staff @ Roosevelt, Ed White, and Royal Ridge elementary for helping my children on their way."
