Norristown's Roosevelt School Marking 100 Years

Norristown Area School District’s Roosevelt School is marking its 100th anniversary, and the community is invited to the party.

The celebration is set for 6 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 17, at 1161 Markley St. in Norristown. Tours of the building will be available at 5:45 p.m.

The Roosevelt School was built in 1914 as an elementary school, became a secondary school in the 1970s and today is a historic landmark.

Now called the Roosevelt Campus of the Norristown Area High School, the school’s primary mission is credit recovery. “It is a privilege for students to attend the program and recover necessary credits so that they can get back on track and graduate on time,” the school says on its website.
