Roosevelt High School

In January 1952 the school was formally moved to the present site. The first principal was Mr Ronnie Rees who had been headmaster of Parkview Senior. The school was fully staffed and the Grade 8 and 9 students were taught in prefab classes while the current school building was being constructed.

Roosevelt High School was proud to be one of the first schools in Johannesburg to open its doors to all South African learners after 1990 as soon as the law allowed. Mr Robinson, who was principal at the time, had been eagerly awaiting that day and there was already a waiting list.

In 2002 Roosevelt High School celebrated its 50th anniversary. The school still has its proud traditions and a vibrant group of learners as well as a dedicated staff, some of whom have been at Roosevelt for many years. The staff is really caring and this is what makes Roosevelt High a true family community.
