History

Construction of the school began in 1961 at 525 Bonnie View Road in the Oak Cliff area. Built before the school district integrated its high schools, the campus was the first new "Negro high school" built in Dallas since 1939 at the time it opened in January 1963. The school was built to serve a maximum capacity of 2000 students and at its opening was expected to draw about 1200 students from the Oak Cliff area, most previously attending Madison High School — which had itself been converted to a "Negro school" in 1956 to relieve overcrowding at Booker T. Washington and Lincoln high schools.Sue Connally. "Forest assigned to Negro pupils: District added to Crozier's," "The Dallas Morning News", June 14, 1956, section 1, pages 1 and 9. "Note: At that time, "district" was used in Dallas to refer to the attendance zone of a specific school, rather than the system as a whole."]

The school is named for former U.S. president Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
