The Superintendent’s Cadre is a group of high school students from diverse backgrounds and all grade levels who meet with Ms. Kirby once a month to discuss issues impacting the student body and brainstorm ways to improve the high school experience. The 2025 Cadre also visited CH-UH elementary schools to read and talk with students.

Eleven Cleveland Heights High School Marketing Management / DECA students competed in the District 8 DECA winter competitions, preparing them for careers in marketing, finance, hospitality, and management.

Heights High School’s swim teams have had enormous success in the pool this year, from winning records to an undefeated season. The hard workdoes not end at the pool’ s edge, as both the boys’ and girls’ teams have received accolades from the National Interscholastic Swim Coaches Association (NISCA) for their academic achievement.
