Franklin D. Roosevelt High School is a public high school in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas, Texas (USA), serving grades 9 - 12. The school opened in 1963[2] and is part of the Dallas Independent School District.
The school serves several communities, including Cadillac Heights.[3][4]
Construction of the school began in 1961 at 525 Bonnie View Road in the Oak Cliff area. Built before the school district integrated its high schools, the campus was the first new "Negro high school" built in Dallas since 1939 at the time it opened in January 1963.[2] The school was built to serve a maximum capacity of 2000 students and at its opening was expected to draw about 1200 students from the Oak Cliff area, most previously attending Madison High School — which had itself been converted to a "Negro school" in 1956 to relieve overcrowding at Booker T. Washington and Lincoln high schools.[5]
The school is named for former U.S. president Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
In 2005, after the closure of the Wilmer-Hutchins Independent School District. Roosevelt absorbed some WHISD high school students.[6]
In 2011 the district re-opened Wilmer Hutchins High School.[7] Some former WHISD zones covered by Roosevelt were rezoned to Wilmer-Hutchins.[8][9]
