About RHS and the RCC

The Roosevelt Community Council ("RCC") is a community-based organization formed to support Roosevelt High School in the City of St. Louis. The RCC has been meeting monthly at the school since the spring of 2007. The RCC is an all-volunteer organization which includes community members, school personnel, a representative of the Roosevelt Alumni Association, several local aldermen and a state representative.

Roosevelt High School is a comprehensive (general admission) high school which is a part of the St. Louis Public Schools. The school draws students primarily from the South St. Louis City area, and has an enrollment of close to 1,000 students. The school is located at 3230 Hartford Street, St. Louis, Missouri 63118.

The Roosevelt Community Council has coordinated a number of activities with RHS since the spring of 2007, including: raising funds for the school; serving breakfast to the RHS football teams before Saturday games, and organizing and raising the funds and volunteers for the breakfasts starting in fall 2011; assisting the school with recognizing teachers who have produced high test scores; and supporting the RHS Library. The RCC also partnered with the school to develop and locate funding for an afterschool program for students at the school, with the assistance of the Community Education Program (CEC Program) of the St Louis Public Schools. The SLPS Foundation has assisted with the afterschool program and other fund-raising activities of the RCC.
