In 2002 Roosevelt High School celebrated its 50th anniversary. The school still has its proud traditions and a vibrant group of learners as well as a dedicated staff, some of whom have been at Roosevelt for many years. The staff is really caring and this is what makes Roosevelt High a true family community. Mrs Stemmet, (who had been acting-principal for 2008), was appointed as Roosevelt High’s first female principal at the beginning of 2009 and, apart from keeping up with new curriculum developments as head of the Mathematics Department, she is in touch with all the new changes in education in South Africa.
The school still emphasises academic achievement and Roosevelt has shown that it has the ability to positively change with the times. It proudly offers the best in the new educational dispensation.
