Theodore Roosevelt High School is a public high school located in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, United States. It opened in 1991 and is one of four traditional high schools in the Sioux Falls School District.

History

Roosevelt was the third high school in the Sioux Falls School District. The school opened for the 1991–1992 school year after a $17 million construction effort. Eventual overcrowding at the school was used as a pitching point for the referendum that later funded Jefferson High School.

Athletics

Roosevelt athletic teams are nicknamed the Rough Riders and compete in the Metro Athletic Conference. The girls basketball team won 111 games in a row from 1997-01, and won 5 straight state championships. The 2021-22 boys basketball team achieved a perfect 22-0 season en route to back-to-back state championships.

Performing arts

RHS has three competitive show choirs: the mixed-gender "Executive Suite" and "Rider Revolution" as well as the all-female "Capitol Harmony". The school also fields the only competitive inclusive show choir in the United States, "Unity, Inc." The program also hosts an annual competition.

RHS has a theater program that typically has two plays per semester, along with a summer show. The second show of the spring semester is usually a musical.
