Unique Opportunities in Our Clusters

Welcome to the Roosevelt Cluster in the North East Independent School District. As a Royal Ridge Elementary School student, your child will establish a passion, curiosity, and foundation for life-long learning while nurturing their social and emotional skills. Outside of the classroom, your child can embrace what they love or try something new through diverse clubs, programs and organizations.

Your child will discover even more opportunities at Ed White and Krueger Middle School. As their academic foundation expands in the classroom, their circle of friends and experiences will grow through new opportunities in Athletics, Fine Arts, Student Council, National Junior Honor Society, competitive UIL contests, and more. Ed White is home to the Design and Technology Academy (DATA) – a magnet for students who love computer coding, programming, and information technology. The Krueger School of Applied Technologies (KSAT) gives students the chance to explore their passion for rocketry and robotics.  

At Roosevelt High School, your child will excel academically and socially while embracing beloved Rough Rider traditions with memories that will last a lifetime.
