The Roosevelt School District believes that athletics are an essential component to the school’s academic program. The athletic program offers unique opportunities outside of the classroom to promote self-discipline, improved self-image, and encourage a healthy sense of competition. The development of these principles leads to athletic and academic success, and promotes character development that supports personal, social, and career success later in life. The ultimate objective of the program is for the athletes to improve their skills while learning sportsmanship and having fun.
