Located near
the slopes of the National Memorial of the Pacific,
President Theodore Roosevelt High School is situated in
the suburbs of Makiki which is part of the greater
Honolulu area of approximately 800,000 residents and one
of six high schools in the Honolulu School District.
One of the central elements of the community is the
educational complex which includes Manoa, Noelani, Pauoa,
Nu'uanu, Ma'ema'e and Lincoln Elementary as well as
Robert Louis Stevenson and Prince David Kawananakoa
Middle Schools. Established in 1930, Roosevelt High
School had the distinction of being the only
English-standard public school in Hawaii. Construction
of the Spanish-influenced architecture of the main
building was completed in September of 1932. The red
and gold dome of the Roosevelt tower still remains as a
noted landmark in the Honolulu metropolis.
Drawing from
the area of Makiki, Manoa, Nu'uanu, Pauoa, Punchbowl,
Papakolea and Tantalus, students are offered a
comprehensive academic program, a varied athletic and
intramural program and many opportunities to participate
in co-curricular activities through clubs, special
programs and student government. The Principal is Ms.
Ann Mahi and Vice-Principals are Mr. Ron Nomura, and Mr.
Scott Shimabukuro.
The music program is under the direction of Mr.
Gregg K. Abe. With an enrollment of 180 students
out of a student population of 1500, the Roosevelt High
School music program is well known throughout the state for its
superior musical abilities in marching as well as
concert, orchestra, and jazz band activities. Many of the students
in the program receive private instruction from a number
of local professional musicians and university
instructors which further enhances the quality of
student musicianship within the various programs.
Serving the
school, community and the State of Hawai'i, the
Roosevelt High School Band has earned a reputation for
quality performance, attitude, and musicianship. Honors
have included performances in Canada, Tournament of
Roses Parade, Portland Rose Festival Parade, Freedom
Bowl Festival, Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, Midosuji
Parade and five tours of Japan. The mission statement
of the band is to provide a quality musical experience
for both members and listeners. Also, the various
activities of the band and orchestra will assist the
students to develop skills in the areas of
communication, leadership, responsibility, and
teamwork. Our focus is to motivate students to set high
standards and to develop traits necessary to become
productive members of society.
