THE BRIDGES ACADEMY

The Roosevelt High School Bridges Academy serves approximately seventy 9th and 10th grade students.  Students attend English, Math, Choices (Life Skills) and either Science or U.S. History at Central School, which serves as an RHS annex. Through small group and individualized instruction, students see a great deal of success in this family-like atmosphere. Students spend half of their day in the academy and the other half of their day is spent in classes at Roosevelt High School. For more information select the Bridges Academy link.
