In the 1960s, Roosevelt High School in Portland, Oregon was a thriving institution with bright students from a vibrant neighborhood. Fifty years later, the school was on the verge of collapse, with declining enrollment, crumbling facilities, and struggling sports teams. Many students with means had left for safer and newer schools, leaving behind those who couldn't afford to leave. By 2007, the school was slated for closure. However, everything changed in 2008 when SouthLake Church, a suburban church, organized a clean-up day at Roosevelt. Despite expecting a small turnout, hundreds of volunteers showed up, and the event marked the beginning of a profound impact on the school and its students.
UnDivided
Fifty years after its 1960s peak, Roosevelt High School, once the pride of Portland, Oregon, now lies in disrepair, its once-bustling corridors now eerily silent and neglected.
