The tassels have turned and the Class of 2026 has officially graduated from Roosevelt High School.

This is a class of monumental achievement, involved in every extracurricular you can imagine, dedicated to serving their community, and full of Rider Pride.

Student speaker D'Angelo Strong spoke today about the symbolism of our school colors, black and gold. The contrast of the quiet darker moments with the bright bold gold moments. We hope the Class of 2026 is feeling like gold today.

Staff speaker Ms. Hill reminded us of the very first pep rally this class attended as freshmen four years ago, where these students were the loudest class in the gym, even beating the seniors. This is a group that has had a deep connection to the school community from the moment they first walked through our front doors, and they are leaving their fingerprints all over Roosevelt.

Congratulations, Riders. We are proud to welcome you to the Roosevelt High School Alumni Association.
