Four Roosevelt High School seniors and their auto shop teacher participated in a contest at the North American International Auto Show in January.
Tools won during a contest at the North American International Auto Show in January are used by Roosevelt High School students on a daily basis, according to auto shop teacher Gary Chesney. Students won more than $5,000 in prizes and services after Chesney and four of his advanced automotive technology students won the grand prize, which included ten Snap-On multi-meters, ten circuit board trainers and four hours of free teacher training.

The school store at Roosevelt High School teaches students management, leadership and supervision skills.
The school store at Roosevelt High School now has gold. But, you can't buy it. The Trading Post recently received Gold Level Certification from DECA in the school-based enterprise certification program, which was developed to provide recognition for outstanding achievement by school-based enterprises and to motivate students working at said enterprises to strive for excellence and growth, according to a DECA release. Roosevelt students Jesse Knowles and Joana Musa, with the assistance of adviser Elissa Cumiskey, were among 166 other school-based enterprises to achieve DECA's highest level of certification.

Roosevelt High School teachers are asking for donations and community input for new classes.
Do you have an old ping pong table sitting around gathering dust? Or maybe you know a local person with Vietnam ties who'd be willing to share their story? Either way, teachers at Wyandotte's Roosevelt High School are looking for your help. While outlining new courses being offered at Roosevelt, two teachers put out a request for help from the public at Tuesday's Board of Education meeting. Speaking on behalf of the new Advanced Individual Sports class, Rico Pascuzzi said the class will touch on a number of sports, including badminton, bowling and disc golf. Table tennis also is on the list of possibilities, but Pascuzzi said the district didn't have enough tables to allow the entire class to play at once. Anyone who has one who'd like to…

With the addition of a seventh-hour period at Roosevelt High School this year, staffers have had to develop new courses to offer during that classroom time.

The new courses, and their teachers, are: School Superintendent Carla Harting said students have reacted positively to the extra class period being weaved into the school day.

The Roosevelt High School senior has signed a letter of intent to play at the college in the fall.
Roosevelt High School senior Stephanie Lee has signed a letter of intent to play volleyball at Macomb Community College in the fall. "Everything they had to offer was something I could use to better myself and mold my future," Lee said. "I chose Macomb because it was right up my alley — not too far from home, small class sizes and nice campus. They have two seasons for volleyball as well and I thought that was phenomenal because that's double the playing time I could get. When you get to do something you love to do, something you need to like further your education, it's a blessing. A dream come true."

Carla Harting said students were never told they couldn't fundraise to help another student's family.
Wyandotte school superintendent Carla Harting said a recent TV news report regarding Roosevelt High School students being forbidden from raising money at school to help the family of another student is false. Friends of 15-year-old Kerrigan Brandon told WJBK-TV Fox 2 that they were barred from selling wristbands and T-shirts at Roosevelt because school leaders said the attention could glorify drug use. Kerrigan had been hospitalized in a coma at Mott's Children Hospital in Ann Arbor since overdosing on a cocktail of prescription drugs on Jan. 12. The teen died Wednesday. While the students said their fundraising efforts were shot down, Harting said that's not the case. "They were told they had to follow the policy, but were never told they…
