Vision Statement

Our vision is to become a community of students, faculty. and staff, which values learning, caring and creativity.

Academics

Roosevelt prides itself on the academic accomplishments of its students. Roosevelt students qualify as National Merit Scholars at 5-8 times the national average. The school offers over 200 courses, eight AP classes, and 20 Career Technical programs. Roosevelt and the Kent City Schools are part of the Six District Educational Compact, which also includes the Cuyahoga Falls, Hudson, Stow-Munroe Falls, Tallmadge, and Woodridge school districts. This compact allows students at member schools to participate in various Career Technical programs that are offered at each of the schools even if that school is not their home high school.

Many, if not most, of the Career Technical programs are housed at Roosevelt or at the Central School Annex, located at the former Central Elementary School at the corner of Park Avenue and North Mantua Street.

Roosevelt also has a tradition of strong and vibrant arts programs, due in large part to strong community support of the arts and the presence of Kent State University. More than a third of the students participate in the vocal and instrumental music programs (orchestra, marching band, and symphonic bands), which consistently rank in national and state competitions.

There are more than 60 extracurricular clubs, including state and nationally recognized debate and chess teams, and state and internationally recognized Future Problem Solving teams.

Athletics

Roosevelt's teams are known as the Rough Riders as one might expect from a school bearing the name of Theodore Roosevelt. As of 2006, Roosevelt fields 25 varsity athletic teams, the most recent additions being the Boys and Girls Bowling teams which received varsity status in September of 2006.

All Rough Rider athletic teams play their home matches at Roosevelt High School with a few exceptions: the ice hockey team plays its home matches at the KSU Ice Arena on the campus of Kent State University (which is also used by KSU's club team, local youth teams, and teams from the Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy, Walsh Jesuit High School, and Western Reserve Academy) and the bowling teams play their home matches at the Kent Lanes on South Water Street (SR 43).

The Campus

The school sits on a 50+ acre campus on North Mantua Street (SR 43) in northern Kent immediately south of the world headquarters complex for the Davey Tree Expert Company. The current campus also includes a football stadium with an all-weather 8-lane track and seating for over 5,000; a soccer stadium with a 9-lane all-weather track and seating for 500 that also includes a community weight room; a six lane indoor swimming pool; a baseball field; a softball field; a tennis complex with six tennis courts; and two additional football practice fields and two additional soccer fields. At the opposite end of the campus is Kent's Stanton Middle School, which houses the district's sixth, seventh, and eighth graders.
