Theodore Roosevelt High School is a public high school operated by the District of Columbia Public Schools in the Petworth neighborhood of Ward 4 neighborhood of Northwest Washington, D.C. Roosevelt enrolls 698 students (2017–2018) in ninth through 12th grade.[4] Additionally, the high school is also home to Roosevelt S.T.A.Y. program, an alternative academic and career/technical program that leads to a high school diploma or vocational certificate.

The high school, located at 13th and Upshur Streets NW was built in 1932 to accommodate 1,200 students. Just prior to the 2016-2017 academic year, it completed a $121 million, two-year facility modernization.[5] During the renovation period, classes were conducted at the MacFarland Middle School campus nearby at 4400 Iowa Avenue, NW.[6] The school campus has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

History

Plans for the school began in 1920, and it opened in 1932. The 64-room school was designed to hold 1,551 students.[7] Alongside a regular college entrance curriculum, the school included business-oriented classes to accommodate the interests of white students who had previously been served by the Business High School at Ninth Street and Rhode Island Avenue Northwest.[7] The business focus was in contrast to the technical focus of McKinley Technical High School and Armstrong Technical High School.[7] The school was integrated in 1953, one of the first schools in the District of Columbia to do so.[7]


Uncovered New Deal artwork

In 1934, art students under the guidance of the Baltimore-born artist Nelson Rosenberg[8] created a mural in the cafeteria. Titled An American Panorama, the was created as part of the New Deal-era Public Works of Art Project. It was later accompanied by other murals, added by later students, around the school.[7] An American Panorama was uncovered during renovation work in the cafeteria in fall 2013.[9] The fresco is currently being restored and will be incorporated into the final renovation.
