Roosevelt College
Roosevelt College was born in 1945 as Roosevelt Memorial High School along the busy J.P. Rizal Street in Barrio San Roque, Marikina, then a part of Rizal province. Popular education was limited to the "Katon Kristiyano" and to the primary and elementary grades available in a few barrio schools. A few affluent families would easily send their children to high school and college in Manila while those who have less would take trips to and from Rizal High School. Mayor Wenceslao C. dela Paz, pre-war town executive of the late 20’s foresaw that the town will not remain agricultural for long. It was his obsession to let the young go beyond grade school and learn something more than shoemaking and farming. He mustered his own family resources and established in 1933 a secondary school he called Marikina Academy.

Productivity and quality as a way of life in Roosevelt College
Productivity means to continually improve on what already exists. It is based on the belief that one can do better today than yesterday and better tomorrow than today.
Youth promotes peace through puppetry
In a time when hope is lost for peace, young people’s gifts and potentials are counted on to turn the tides and ignite action towards creating a better and habitable world. In response to this challenge, UNESCO Club of Metro Manila (UCMM) through the assistance of UNESCO Club of Lyceum, launched yet another innovative program to communicate peace and hope to communities in and outside Metro Manila through its Puppet for Peace Program. The program aims to involve young people in a pro-active campaign for co-existence, tolerance and creation of a culture of peace in communities combating the wars of poverty, hunger, sickness, violence and family break-ups.
Breathing life to marching bands
The moves. The form. The beat. The rhythm.
