10 student-athletes committed to continue their athletic journeys at the next level in baseball, figure skating, band, soccer, track & field, and cross country. We couldn’t be more proud and can’t wait to watch you shine in the future! 💙✨

As we head into February, we’re taking a moment to celebrate our January Students of the Month! 🎉 Congratulations to these students for truly illustrating what it means to be a Roosevelt Rider—hard work, leadership, and pride every day. 💙🏇

Attention all 8th graders going to Roosevelt! Connections is a great opportunity for incoming freshmen to get a jump on high school. Students will learn the ins and outs of Roosevelt and earn 0.5 credits towards graduation (that is the same amount that you earn for a semester long class!). Start their high school experience off on the right foot by enrolling in Connections! Space is limited. 

Friday, January 23, 2026, will be a Remote Learning Day in the Sioux Falls School District! iPads and Chromebooks were sent home with each student earlier today. We will not have in-person learning in the schools, but students are expected to connect to their Canvas account from home for assignments and learning resources. They have practiced this at school and know what is expected of them. Additional information for Students and Families can be found here: https://app.smore.com/n/wgz62

Roosevelt High School's Activities Director, Steve Moore, visited with Student Leadership last week and discussed key aspects of leading within education. Mr. Moore shared stories, quotes, and mindsets that have guided him in building positive relationships with others as a leader in multiple school districts. Thank you, Mr. Moore!

William Ristau, Christa Heikkila, Andrew Garcia Enriquez , Natalee Stricherz and Neliea Daws (both not pictured) achieved a perfect score on the South Dakota Science Assessment!

Only 33 in the entire state were able to achieve this and five of them were Roosevelt Rough Riders! We are so proud of each and everyone of you! Way to represent RHS! Congratulations!

AFJROTC stepped up during break!

On Friday, January 2, our cadets volunteered at Banquet West, serving over 130 people on a cold winter night. Incredibly proud of those who came out to serve our community. 💙👏
