Pictures from the Roosevelt High School Grand Re-Opening on
September 30, 2006
WELCOME TO
THE NEW ROOSEVELT
The high school we remember affectionately continues to thrive today as
students enjoy the results of extensive modernization and refurbishment
that was completed just in time for the 2006-2007 school year. In the
interim Roosevelt resided in temporary quarters in the old Lincoln High
School. The exemplary Roosevelt curriculum and activities continued during
the two-year exile.
Roosevelt Jazz band, lab, and vocalists have continued to win awards in
regional and national competitions and Roosevelt drama productions continue
to win praise.
The science program offers classroom excellence and additional opportunities
for learning through connections with internship programs, the Windows
on Science club where students build robots, musical instruments, and
"other cool stuff", and have the opportunity to participate with the Earth
Service Corps, a service organization dedicated to conservation. Field
trips as far as the Galapagos Islands have been in their adventurous sights.
Roosevelt is continuing its academic excellence in all areas.

This year's Roosevelt

MICHAEL PERINGER - EMPOWERING AT-RISK YOUTH
THRU ARTWORK
Forging a practical and principle-centered way to achieve social change,
RHS '53 grad Michael Peringer
founded ArtWorks,a program where community leaders and juvenile
justice centers pull together to re-incorporate at-risk youth back into
the community. Since ArtWorks began in 1995, the program has helped over
5,000 youth perform thousands of community service hours to create over
1,500 murals in neighborhoods across the city, empowering them to achieve
success and a new chance at life. In his 2007 Pulitzer-Prize nominated
book Good Kids, the story of ArtWorks, Mike talks about
what it took to get the program going, shares its success stories as well
as failures, and inspires others to act by offering key advice on how
to start similar programs in other communities. To order a copy of Mike's
inspiring book, visit Artworks
