School Notes:
  • Theodore Roosevelt High School was a public high school located in The Bronx, New York City, United States. It was first organized November 14, 1918. When Theodore Roosevelt died on January 6, 1919, the Board of Education decided to give the school his name. The school's sports teams are known as Rough Riders, in honor of a group of volunteer cavalry horseback riders in which President Theodore Roosevelt was Lt. Colonel. The school mascot is the teddy bear.
  • The school was closed in accordance with directives from the NYS Education Department and the New York City Department of Education on June 30, 2006, after graduating its last class. For the 2005/2006 school year, the school had the lowest graduation rate in New York City - 3%. The building remains open as the "Roosevelt Educational Campus", composed of six autonomous small schools: Belmont Preparatory High School, West Bronx Academy for the Future, Fordham Leadership Academy for Business and Technology, Fordham High School for the Arts, KAPPA International High School and the Bronx High School for Law and Community Service.
  • The building is located on the south side of East Fordham Road, directly across the street from the Rose Hill campus of Fordham University.
