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.

First Football Breakfast of 2015

"Football Breakfasts" means providing breakfast for the Roosevelt High School football team before its Saturday home JV and Varsity games. About 85% of the students at Roosevelt are eligible for the school's free or reduced price meal program during the school week, but there are no such meals on Saturdays. The RCC began supporting the breakfasts about 8 years ago , when Mr. Terry Houston, then principal, asked us to provide volunteers for the breakfasts. The breakfasts were his idea: they are a way to both support the team and connect the community to the school. The volunteers help set up, help serve, and clean up after the breakfasts. Currently, the RCC raises the funds for the breakfasts, hires the caterer to provide the food, and recruits the volunteers.

The caterer is Euylan Welch of WelchOne Catering. We al
