We create meaningful learning experiences where students understand their learning, take ownership of their growth, and experience a true sense of belonging. Together, we foster curiosity, perseverance, kindness, and high expectations so every learner is prepared for future success.
School History
On June 10, 1918, the School Board approved plans to build a six- to eight-room school in the East Side Addition after a $90,000 bond passed. The name “Roosevelt School” first appeared in Board minutes on May 12, 1919, and the school began operating in 1920–1921, a year marked by several changes, including a citywide shift from Pacific to Mountain Time in December 1920. The building expanded in 1948 with a four-room addition and again in 1951 with a three-room addition to house kindergarten and first grade classrooms.
Following the March 2006 bond election, Roosevelt underwent a major renovation during the 2010–2011 school year. Students returned in fall 2011 to a fully updated facility featuring energy-efficient lighting and roofing, exterior sun shades, recycled carpeting, water-saving fixtures, a full kitchen, an added resource room, a new library, ADA-compliant upgrades including an elevator, new classroom furniture, and improved security.
