It is named after the United States’ 26th President Theodore Roosevelt. The school experienced severe damage from the earthquake of 1952 and had to be rebuilt. Through the years, the administration and staff at Roosevelt elementary has always been dedicated to providing academic excellence, so that each child receives what they need to have success at the various stages of life.
