Roughriders 1st 2019 "home" game & first football breakfast - Saturday, 9-7-2019

The Roughriders will have their first "home" game tomorrow, Saturday, Sept. 7, 2019, at 12:00 noon at Cleveland Naval JROTC's field (at Central HS - the old Southwest HS at Arsenal and Kingshighway). The time has been moved back one hour from the previously announced time. The game has been moved from Roosevelt to Cleveland because of construction on the Roosevelt field.


The RCC will also be providing the first football breakfast of the season to the team tomorrow morning. The volunteers will be from the Tower Grove East Neighborhood.* This is the first of the breakfasts for this year, paid for from the funds raised at our annual May fundraiser at Riley's Pub.

Here's a pic from a 2018 breakfast, showing several volunteers serving food, and our caterer, Euylan Welch (in the white jacket):


Volunteer groups for the other breakfasts will be from the Benton Park West Neighborhood, Tower Grove Heights Neighborhood, Tower Grove South Neighborhood, Fox Park Neighborhood, DeSales Community Development, and the Marine Corps Junior ROTC program at Roosevelt. We are so grateful to the volunteers!!

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:
