Report on Roosevelt Conscious Choice event 4-27-2016

Photo of the three young women (center in photo) who won scholarships from UMSL yesterday afternoon through their participation in the Conscious Choice program at Roosevelt High School. Each won a scholarship for $1,500 from the university. They read their essays yesterday at a program at St. Louis University, which was held in conjunction with SLU's Trio program.

Ms. Laura Craig, RHS Library Media Specialist and Coordinator of the Roosevelt afterschool program, is in a white jacket on the right side of the frame, taking a photo.

The Conscious Choice program is a program for young women students at the high school to encourage postponing motherhood until after high school. Two of our regular Roosevelt Community Council members are mentors in the program, Rev. Paula Cooper of Curby Memorial Presbyterian Church in BPW and Norah Ryan.

Students from Vashon High School and Sumner High School also attending the program. Each school has a program similar to Conscious Choice, and Sumner also has a program for young men. Students from the Roosevelt Marine Corps Jr. ROTC also attended, along with Gunnery Sgt. Cleveland Scott and Master Sgt. Larry Toolie from RHS.

Roosevelt 100th Anniversary event - Sunday, January 26, 2025

The Roosevelt Community Council and the Roosevelt HS Alumni Association will be holding a Centennial event on Sunday, January 26, 2025, at Roosevelt High School, 3230 Hartford St., St. Louis MO 63118. Building tours at noon and a program at 1:00 pm. This is the actual 100th anniversary of the day the Roosevelt building first opened for students. An event is also being planned for the fall of 2025, to coincide with Homecoming, and we would welcome alumni of any year to join us to plan for this centennial year.

Change in Homecoming Game, Sept. 20, 2025 - vs. St. Pius X (Festus)

We received an update from the Athletic Director at Roosevelt re a change in the Sept. 20th Homecoming football game: Due to tornado damage from the May 16th tornado, there has been a change in Roosevelt's Homecoming Game on September 20, 2025. The team will play St. Pius X High School (Festus) instead of Soldan High School. The reason for this is that S oldan's students are moving to GatewaySTEM to attend classes this fall and their athletes will be participating with Gateway's students. Sumner's students will be attending classes at Miller Career Academy and participating in sports with them as well. This left us without an opponent for our celebration. I put out an all-points-bulletin to the area athletic director's for a "hail mary" in an effort to find an opponent to fill the opening in our schedule. I am happy to announce that St. Pius X (Festus) will be our opponent for our game on 9/20. Here's the updated game schedule:

First game of the season moved to Friday, August 29th, 2025 at 4:30pm
