Theodore Roosevelt High School is an educational institution of seven high schools (grades 9-12) located in the Boyle Heights area of Los Angeles, California named for the 26th president of the United States. Roosevelt is a public school in the Los Angeles Unified School District with an enrollment of 5,047 in 2007, making it one of the largest in the country, and second largest behind Belmont High School at the time. Up until the 2008-09 school year, the school followed a year-round calendar. In 2008, the school started to be managed by the Partnership for Los Angeles Schools, which was started by Los Angeles mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. In 2010, the cohesive institution was split up into seven small schools, each with its own principal, CEEB code (used by SAT, colleges, etc.), students and staff. The outcomes of this have been debated by students and administrators.〔http://www.boyleheightsbeat.com/reform-at-roosevelt-verdict-is-still-out-674〕〔http://www.boyleheightsbeat.com/roosevelt-high-school-directed-to-restructure-current-system-2023〕 Its school colors are red and gold, the mascot is Teddy the Bear, and their sport teams are known as the Rough Riders. The school's motto is "Don't flinch, don't foul, hit the line hard!", which is a Theodore Roosevelt quote.〔http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Image:Roosevelt_-_Address_to_the_Boys_Progressive_League.ogg〕 Students come from Boyle Heights, South Central, East Los Angeles, and City Terrace. Roosevelt participates in the annual "East L.A. Classic" against Garfield High School. It is the homecoming game for both schools and attracts over 20,000 people every year. == History == Roosevelt was founded in 1922, but opened in 1923 in Boyle Heights to the east of the Los Angeles River. During World War II the Japanese were removed to internment camps. Many returned after the war. A Japanese garden that had been destroyed was restored in 1996 with funds raised by alumni and students. As the population grew in the area, Roosevelt sought expansion. The R-Building (R for Roosevelt) was the main building and faced Fickett Street. The street was vacated and a new administration (A-Building for administration) was constructed. Many new buildings were created and added to campus. The R-building has an interesting history and distinct architecture. There was a fourth floor to the building which had to be closed due to damage from a fire. The basement was built with a shooting range for the Junior ROTC (JROTC), although only air rifles may be used now. Roosevelt was one of the five schools to initiate the student walkouts in 1968, and contributed to the walkouts in 2006, in protest to the HR 4437 bill. Roosevelt also has been recently criticized〔http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/06/05/LAUSD-Planned-Parenthood〕 for opening a Planned Parenthood clinic on campus grounds. May 15, 2015 Roosevelt High School students Unify and Fight by walking out once more. In protest to the unsatisfactory decisions made by Administrations as well as being furious at School Officials for not managing the school properly. Roosevelt High School Located in Eaat Los Angeles has a history of fighting for social and educational justice, and students continue that legacy by not keeping quite and making their voices heard on that day. (Allegedly the walkout was intended to stop the displacement of 23 Roosevelt Teachers) In 2009 the opening of the Felicitas and Gonzalo Mendez Learning Centers helped to expand Roosevelt.〔"(2.
