Welcome
Dear Roosevelt High School Alumni
On August 8 2005, we filed as a national organization bringing alumni together with a common goal of supporting our Alma Mater. Also, the Secretary of State of Indiana recognized us as being legally incorporated in Indiana. We were also established as a 501(c)3 organization.
Our Team
Our amazing team of Alumni is committed to keeping you informed on issues that concern Roosevelt High School Alumni.
We take pride in our firm belief that this property at 730 W. 25th Avenue, Gary, IN 46407 can be repurposed. We also believe that it can serve the community as well as house a school museum.
Our Founders
In 2005 our school was not maintaining State-mandated performance levels. Dr. Bernard Watson, Ms. Annie F. May and Ms. Eloise Gentry agreed that our Alumni if called upon, would help the school in any way they could, and the National Gary Theodore Roosevelt Alumni Association was organized to reach ALL of our Alumni across the world. Roosevelt has been a dominant force throughout the history of the City of Gary and the National Alumni has helped bring a stronger awareness to the community.
Our Mission and Purpose
We strive to help build a society that is enriched because of its ethnic and racial diversity. It is our goal to help make our community a better place by sustaining the history of outstanding achievements that bring honor to our city.
Roosevelt’s building was valued at 1.5 million dollars in 1947 and valued more today with its many extensions. In addition, we want to monitor and support the continued use of the facility. We have partnered with organizations and programs that meet 501(c)3 guidelines. This includes the Gary Educational Development Foundation (GEDF), a nonprofit that continues to help improve the quality of life for graduates of the Gary Public School System, where many of our alumni sponsor scholarships.
