HALL OF FAME CLASS OF 2020

40th Anniversary Cleveland Heights High School

DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI HALL OF FAME On October 16, 2020, the Heights Schools Foundation hosted the 40th anniversary of the Cleveland Heights High School Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame and honored ten extraordinary alumni. While remarkable among their peers, they may be most notable for being inducted virtually during the unprecedented Covid-19 pandemic.

Despite the necessity of creating a new program format, the 2020 celebration proved remarkable in

Heights A Capella Choir and Heights Singers; an After-Show talk show, where several new HOF inductees joined HSF officers for casual conversation sharing high school memories and reflections on being inducted during a pandemic; and finally, class virtual “meet-ups.” While the 2020 event did not disappoint, we all look forward to future HOF inductions that will be held in person where all guests can celebrate inside the beautifully renovated high school building.

KELLY BULLOCK DAUGHERTY EdD ’90 Dr. Daugherty’s education and range of experiences have given her many opportunities to motivate, inspire and impact teaching/learning around the country. She understands that students come into classrooms and schools with different backgrounds, cultures and cognitive abilities. Sometimes, the only thing students have in common is their age! That’s why she is committed to helping students, teachers, and educational leaders define their greatness.

“Being inducted into the CHHS Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame is a great honor and privilege. For me, it means that values and morals have been instilled, a voice of advocacy inspired, and a movement for change effectively challenged. Cleveland Heights laid this foundation for me. This induction represents my commitment towards the continuous

work required to impact positive change in our communities, whether through my writing THE HEIGHTS MAGAZINE

or speaking. I will continue to represent our Tiger Nation with great pride.”

CHUCK COOPER ’72 While Mr. Cooper’s favorite life-time role may be being the father of three, he is a Tony award winning actor who has been featured in over 15 Broadway shows across every theatrical genre from Shakespeare to musical comedy. Over the past three decades, Mr. Cooper has appeared in dozens of feature films and television series.

He has also been recognized by Ohio University as a distinguished alumni.

On being inducted, “It means I guess I wasn’t a total self-centered egotistical selfish wanna’ be actor.”

JONATHAN FLOYD ’91 Mr. Floyd is a member of the prestigious Actors Studio and has appeared in more than 50 television shows and movies and over 100 national commercials. As someone passionate about his community he works to ensure public and police officer safety, while reducing incidents of excessive force as a Certified Trainer of Law enforcement. Mr. Floyd is also a Certified Run Hide Fight instructor which is a national program aimed at reducing casualties in mass shootings.

“To this day, I have friends who tell me that I talk a lot about high school. I now know the reason is because it continues to shape the man I am today. It was here that I made lifelong friends, learned to stand up to bullies and fight for the underdog. The coaches and teachers left an imprint on my life that endures to this day. I can honestly say those were some of the best years of my life. I am truly humbled to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. It is an honor I will cherish for a lifetime.”

JENNY MENDES ’78 Ms. Mendes is a professional clay and drawing artist who has inspired individuals and artists around the world. The art she creates spans multiple mediums such as illustration, sculpture, drawing, painting, storytelling and jewelry. Ms. Mendes is widely respected as an artist who is dedicated to her work and is committed to sharing her skills and techniques with students and other artists through extensive workshops and residencies across the country and globe. She is proud to share this achievement with her father and cousin who have also been inducted into the Heights Alumni Hall of Fame.

“I am thrilled, honored and grateful to be included in the Cleveland Heights High School Hall of Fame. I think about the amazing students before and after my time at CHHS and I feel humbled by their accomplishments which I honor equally with my personal induction into the hall of fame.”

HALL OF FAME CLASS OF 2020

DR. DOUGLAS P. NOWACEK ’87 Dr. Nowacek’s research passions include marine conservation technology, mammal bioacoustics and behavioral ecology.

He graduated Summa Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Ohio Wesleyan University before receiving his PhD in Oceanography. Dr. Nowacek received the National Defense Science and Engineering graduate fellowship and the National Academics- National Research Council Postdoctoral fellowship.

“During high school and even after graduation, I did not appreciate the preparation that Heights High gave to me.

The teachers, coaches, and the diversity of students gave me a foundation that I did not appreciate until graduate school and beyond. To be recognized in this way by a place that provided the very foundation that propelled me is truly awesome.”

TANYA MILLER ’92 Ms. Miller’s path to success began as an associate attorney at Jones Day and a federal judicial law clerk to a U.S. District judge, before she was appointed as an Assistant United States Attorney in the Southern District of New York. Ms. Miller’s next appointment was as Chief Senior District Attorney for the Fulton County District’s Attorney’s Office in Atlanta. Now in private practice she is an advocate for justice. Ms. Miller has appeared on CNN, Fox News and more, as well as being a legal analyst for television series.

“I’ve been in battles in court rooms from New York City to Atlanta, both prosecuting those who the public needed protection from as well as defending those who deserved freedom. I am an advocate. My confidence, commitment to excellence, strength of my voice and even my passion for justice was nurtured and empowered in the classrooms of Heights. I am because of the time, relationships and experiences I had at Heights. It is where I first realized my voice mattered.”

SCOTT PENNYMAN ’98 Even before Mr. Pennyman graduated from Cleveland State University, he began working for Cleveland 19, a CBS affiliate, as an intern. The nearly 20-year veteran videographer, producer and multi-media journalist of Cleveland sports news climbed his way up the ladder to cover national athletic events such as two NBA Finals, a MLB World Series and the NFL Scouting Combine in addition to several seasons of Cleveland’s major sports teams; the Browns, Indians and Cavaliers.

“It means so much for me that the place where my journey started wants to honor me. Honestly, as my career started at age 19, I never thought much about accolades or honors. It was more about pursuing a life dream and passion of being in television and covering sports. It started in the back of 9th grade French Class talking sports with buddies, and has led me all the way to the Cleveland Heights Hall of Fame. I am truly honored that my peers and students think enough of my career to induct me. I will forever be appreciative and just like I’ve always done, I look forward to being able to continue sharing my knowledge with the up and coming Cleveland Heights students to help them reach their goals.”

LARRY SHYATT ’69 Recently retired after an amazing 40-year career coaching for the Dallas Mavericks, University of Wyoming and the University of Florida, Mr. Shyatt is known as having one of the most outstanding basketball minds in the county. Just to name a few honors, Mr. Shyatt has been named four times as Top Assistant Coach in the country by the Basketball Times, won 2 NCAA National Championships and has been selected as Coach of the Year.

“My selection is both humbling and rewarding, and I consider it an honor to be part of such a distinguished group of alumni.”

LISA TARANTINO ’93 After earning a Bachelor of Music in classical voice from the Eastman School of Music, she accepted an invitation to retrain for Broadway musicals in New York City. The events of 9/11 mandated a change and she was forced to put her Broadway singing dreams aside and pursue other avenues in the creative arts. Ms. Tarantino has more than 170 credits in television, film, streaming content, commercials, industrials, top video games, print, live and televised spokesperson work, voice, and stage.

“It’s no secret I’m a proud Clevelander and likewise, a proud Tiger! In my day, Heights High School offered students so many opportunities to learn, grow, expand and connect with each other.

We were a diverse student body comprised of varied backgrounds, beliefs and interests. A great foundation for personal and professional growth. Inclusion in the CHHS Hall of Fame is something I value greatly. For one, I am in excellent company with some truly influential and memorable fellow alumni. But mostly because fellow Clevelanders have shown me kindness and welcomed me home. A reminder that you never know whose lives you inspire by LIVING your own and pursuing your Passion(s). THAT is an Award I graciously accept. Thank you!”

MELVIN GENE TUCKER II ’90 Mr. Tucker, a former Heights basketball and football standout, returned to Michigan State as Head Football Coach, twenty-two years after beginning his coaching career at the university as a graduate assistant under famed college and NFL coach Nick Saban. Mr. Tucker has coached for Ohio State, University of Colorado and the University of Alabama. In the NFL he has coached for the Cleveland Browns, Jacksonville Jaguars and the Chicago Bears.

“During my time at Cleveland Heights High School, I learned how to interact with people from backgrounds different than my own. Whether it was ethnic, social economics, or religious.”

TIGERS STEPPING UP IN A TIME OF

CRISIS

Katy Mathews Benjamin ’91

Joey Cremo ’89

I was angry. I was frustrated. I was scared. Yes, I am dedicated to my nursing career. But I was so torn thinking…what am I willing to risk? My health, the health of my family which includes an immunocompromised little boy? Everyday at work there was new protocol and trying to keep up was exhausting. Prepping for the unknown for weeks. Waiting until it was my turn to face the awful virus. Then there she was…my first positive. A patient younger than me, also scared, also with a young family. At that moment, COVID-19 had a face, a name, a family. I was no longer scared or angry but determined to never again lose my faith or question my place in this fight. Thankfully, in South Carolina, so far we have been spared the surge of cases that other states are experiencing. I am headed to a new adventure…There is a need for nurses in Atlanta more than here at this moment. MUSC Health has formed a partnership and is sending 13 nurses and 9 respiratory therapists. I’m excited as this brings me back to my old travel nurse days. I will come home once a week for a few days to see my family.

Hopefully soon this will all be behind us! Wish me luck.

I’m a commercial front load driver for Waste Management INC. On March 18 our CEO sent a text video message to all 45,000 WM employees. The first thing he said in that message was, “we are in uncharted waters.” He also stated that while they are working very hard to get us more PPE, there is a shortage in this country. Since then, we have gotten a couple of items. My route is downtown Cleveland. I service downtown to University Circle, Monday thru Friday. The challenge of this event is: “how do I protect myself from contracting COVID-19?” We, as garbage men, have to assume everything is infected with it. There is no way for us to know which apartment building, nursing home, hospital or medical center etc. could have people there with it and what they threw out. We, as refuse collectors, have to go back to the basics and ask ourselves, ‘Did I do everything to keep myself safe at this stop? Did I wear my gloves? Did I wear my glasses? Do I have a face covering?’. There are times everyday I get out and either pull out the dumpster and or open the corral and unlock the combination locks. When I get back in I use my hand sanitizer. At the end of every day now I wipe down all the controls in the truck and spray disinfectant. We are trying really hard not to bring that home and get our families sick. My boss has a saying about work, “If you do what you are supposed to do, you will have nothing to worry about. Be safe, things will get better.”

Tisha Tisdale ’89

Simon Taxel ’03

As a pediatric nurse, I am a jack of all trades. Mother to some, friend to others and sometimes even foe, but my duty to keep kids safe and healthy never changes.

I am grateful each day to be a blessing to others. It is just a benefit that I can do it in a bright, colorful, and fun place. Although I’ve been nursing for years, nothing has prepared me for the pandemic we currently face. I am now one of those nervous parents I help through their storm. Working in the midst of a pandemic is not fun and there is nothing I can do as a pediatric nurse to dress it up. It is terrifying. Resources are limited, staff is sometimes short, and I constantly wonder if I may accidentally bring something home to my family. However, as a nurse, I made a vow to care for others no matter what; and that is what I am doing. The smiling faces of a toddler or gentle thank you from a 15-year-old is all the thanks I need to keep me moving forward and performing my duties as a nurse. This profession is not always easy, but it is one of the most rewarding and humbling things I have done thus far. I am a PROUD pediatric nurse.

EMS providers are the healthcare vanguard during this pandemic and I am a Pittsburgh Paramedic. I am passionate about my work and my career. I am also a husband and a father.

This week, as we begin to adjust to the new reality I am experiencing a new emotional dichotomy.... Those that walk this path know that this kind of situation is the ultimate motivator and it will bring out the best in us.

We will unflinchingly rise to the occasion and provide care without pause or fear… Many are concerned about the complications of staying home and social distancing (there are many and they are legitimate). I am terrified of the consequences of going home and holding my wife and children close. I acknowledge the immense privilege of stable employment and income in this current situation and I do not post this to minimize the terrible struggle that many people face this morning.

We do not need praise, thoughts, or prayers. We need everyone to follow the directions of public health experts and stay home. We also need the federal government to ensure that there is an adequate supply of masks, gowns, gloves, and ventilators. I will forever be in debt to my wife Nicole Taxel for her unconditional support during these challenging and unprecedented times.

We need your help to make that commitment possible. That’s why we’re launching an effort like never before to expand scholarships for Heights High students of today.

The Tiger Fund is for Heights students thinking big about their future, but who fall short financially to make their dreams come true. Candidates must have plans to

attend an accredited college or university for a career certification program, or a 2 or 4 years degree program and be graduating in good standing having attended Heights High for at least two years.

Heights Schools Foundation (HSF) is the internal nonprofit partner supporting the CH-UH Schools System. Our mission is to engage alumni and community members to celebrate our past, embrace our present and support our future.

OLA ESMAIL was having a bad

day in May, having received two disappointing pieces of news, when the 2020 Heights grad received a phone call announcing that she’d won the Career Technical Education Award in recognition of her years of hard work in the high school’s Clinical Nursing Program.

“I didn’t expect it at all,” said Ola, who’s currently studying to be a hematologist at Cleveland State University.

“But it made me feel like I’d done something special.”

Ola has done something special:

Ava

an Ethiopian refugee camp where she was unable to attend school. Because she spoke no English, she enrolled at Heights High as a freshman and slowly worked her way into the fabric of the school.

She tried out for basketball, ran cross country, joined the choir, and excelled in the Clinical Nursing Program.

She advises her fellow English language learners, a growing population in Heights Schools, to apply for every scholarship they can. “I got it,” she said, “so it’s possible for them to get it too.”

ALAYSIA BROOKS sees beauty

and art in everything. Which some may see as ironic considering she’s studying for a career in healthcare. “But the human body is artwork,” said the Ursuline College student.

“And human interaction is an art form.”

She tapped into that creative side by

Alaysia

writing a poem for her application for the Marian Katz Magid Memorial Scholarship for Creative Writing “about beauty and innocence and race and life. I loved the creative aspect of it,” she said. “I came to life in a way.”

But Alaysia comes to life in all kinds of situations. She also won the AVI Community Excellence Scholarship for her volunteer service and the Sydney J. Goldstein Scholarship, awarded to a student pursuing a career in public service. “I always say nursing found me,” said Alaysia who works as a PCNA at the Cleveland Clinic on Sundays, while juggling her course load and training with the Ursuline track and cross country teams the other six days. “If I can come to someone in their most vulnerable state, that’s a gift. Human interaction is as valuable as medicine.”

AVA COLLYER also won the Marian Katz Magid

Memorial Scholarship for Creative Writing, along with the Academic Scholar Award for having the top GPA in her class. Now studying to be a medical researcher in the Honors Program at Ohio State University, Ava likes to think of herself as a creative person. “I’m always trying to figure out how to balance things in life. The creative outlet is important to me.”

As a STEM major who will always have “big hard science classes” on her schedule, Ava values creative writing and hopes to be able to combine those two interests in her career, perhaps by writing graphic novels that explain scientific concepts.

“I definitely want to keep that aspect of my life attended to,” she said.

She was grateful for these extra funds especially because she plans to attend medical school next. “My schooling will definitely continue, so every little bit counts at this point.”

CULLEN MARTIN was one of four students to win the Tiger Fund for Graduating Seniors in its inaugural year. Now studying pre-med at Tufts University in Boston, Cullen was also a football star at Heights High, one of 83 students from among 3,500 nominees to be named to the National Football Foundation’s Team of Distinction. He is on the football team at Tufts, though their season was canceled due to the coronavirus.

“I almost have too much free time,” said Cullen who was used to college level work because he was dual-

enrolled at John Carroll for his junior and senior years.

“I’ve never had a fall with this little to do.”

Cullen spent four years at Heights High after having gone to “maybe ten different schools” across Ohio and the country. “Heights gave me a different perspective, having friends from different backgrounds and being able to relate to all people.”

“This is the one I was meant to have,” said KOURTNEY LOVE of winning the Legends Scholarship, given to a graduate with at least one parent who attended Heights High.

“If anyone was going to be the example of Cleveland Heights from start to finish, it would be me.”

Raised by a Tiger and educated in the system since kindergarten, Kourtney has carried Heights with her to Kent State University, after the coronavirus forced a last minute switch from Kentucky State. Because she’s living in a single and socializing is discouraged, it’s fellow Heights grads who Kourtney relies on. “Anywhere you go, you can find someone who went to Heights.”

Kourtney will study public health and hopes to work in the developing world, helping countries strengthen their public health systems. “It’s an interesting time because we’re all impacted by public health right now; public health is holding everything together.”

However far Kourtney travels, her heart will always be in the Heights. “Heights High is a different world, a different atmosphere, you hold different values and morals.

It’s more of a family, with everyone connected to everyone else. …It’s just unity.”

THE COACH JIM CAPPELLETTI Memorial Scholarship

F

or four and a half decades Coach Jim Cappelletti shaped and changed the lives of thousands of students. As a teacher and head basketball coach for the CH-UH District, Coach led the Tigers to the State Final Four six times (1975, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1997, 2003), the finals twice (1975 and 1995), and winning the Division I State Championship in 1997 when he was named Ohio Coach of the Year.

Coach Cappelletti was undoubtedly a successful coach, but his passion went beyond the court to help his students and players reach their fullest potential. He had a winning attitude on the court and in life, always pushing his students and players to be the best version of themselves. Whatever young people needed, he was there, devoted to helping them. He showed students that each had a personal responsibility to the success of the team, the school and the community.

Kathy Cappelletti, coach’s daughter believes, “...he would be incredibly proud, humbled and thrilled that he, even after his passing, could continue to help the youth of Cleveland Heights High School. He was born to help people and that’s what he did till the day he could no longer do it. ...my dad spent far more time at Cleveland Heights High School than he did anywhere else in his life because he loved it there and he loved helping the kids. He always put the needs of others before himself, e.g. my mom wasn’t thrilled but I remember when he bought new shoes for the entire basketball team because he felt it was needed, even before he would buy himself a new suit.”

Generations of alumni sing Coach’s praises, like Travis Kelce (Heights grad and Super Bowl Champion), “What Cap gave me in terms of confidence, and a mindset to attack life unafraid.... and the ability to be comfortable with the people around you and to know that you’re not in it alone. That’s something I cherish and carry with me every day and it makes me proud to be a Heights Tiger.”

An annual award beginning in 2021 will be given to a graduating senior scholar-athlete who exemplifies giving back to his or her team, school and community. The legend of Coach Jim Cappelletti will continue on the court, in the school and throughout this community.

dventurous. Caring. Generous. Donna Chernin Kurit thoroughly embodied all these adjectives. Adventurous: An intrepid traveler, she explored just about every country in the world, always up for a new experience. Caring: Her focus was always on you – how you were doing and feeling. If there was a problem, she was the arriving cavalry. Generous - with her time, love and money: She single-handedly kept the greeting card industry in business and showered friends and family with not only the gift of her affection but tangible gifts too. Her generosity extended beyond them to countless charitable organizations like the Cleveland Jewish Film Fest and Fund First.

A 1964 Heights High grad, Donna went on to earn a Masters in Journalism from the University of Wisconsin, and parlayed that into a plumb job as the movie and theater critic for the Cleveland Plain Dealer, a position she held for more than two decades. In her late thirties, she worried that she’d never meet the “one”, but then Neil Kurit came along and the two shared a wonderful marriage until his death in 2008. Their two kids, Blair and Jordan, are part of the considerable legacy she’s left behind.

In her last three years, Donna faced cancer with courage and resilience, not letting it define her or quench her indomitable spirit. She continued to live life to the fullest, embarking on thirteen international trips during that time. Always present, interested in everyone’s lives, quick to laugh, dance and have fun, she showed us all how to live and, at the end, how to die. She left all who knew her with beautiful memories. They will be our treasures now.

As a tribute to her life, Bill Proper ’63, her partner of several years, Dr. Dennis Chernin ’67, her loving brother, and Barbara Demming Lurie ’64, her lifelong friend, have established this scholarship.

A BACK-TO-SCHOOL LIKE NO OTHER...

Cleveland Heights-University Heights public schools started the year remotely. Remote learning took place through the first quarter and through November. Educators showed true ingenuity and students rose to the occasion. Families supported each other.

Some limited, socially-distanced activities helped to connect teachers and learners.

MONTICELLO, BOULEVARD, OXFORD

Heights High’s head football coach Mac Stephens has the same goal he’s always had as a coach: to change lives. “We develop players academically, socially and athletically,” he says of the high school coaching staff who recently launched the Build the Bridge program to break down racial stereotypes and barriers between football teams of different backgrounds.

Build the Bridge pairs teams of different racial, socio-economic, religious or geographic backgrounds so they can connect with one another and discover that they likely have more in common than just a love of football. The program has received recognition from the National Football League and more than 60 school teams across five states have already signed up to participate.

One of the most exciting things about the start of the year for students is meeting new people and making new friends. Remote learning poses a particular challenge for students, especially those in transition grades, who haven’t yet had the chance to meet their new peers. Tiger Nation schools have found creative ways to connect while staying safe.

Monticello Middle’s physical education teacher Desi Stewart wanted to give 6th graders “the opportunity to interact in a safe way, so there are familiar faces when they return to school.” So, Mr. Stewart organized a socially distanced ‘Kickball Kickoff.’

Boulevard Elementary proudly marched in a ‘Superhero Spirit Cruise’ where families either cruised slowly through the parking lot or walked according to social distancing guidelines, greeted teachers, waved signs and enjoyed individually packaged snacks.

Oxford Elementary welcomed its families and community to a drive-in movie screening of Disney’s Coco at the school. Popcorn and concessions were available.

Heights High Football “Build the Bridge” for Change

Heights High Sees Increase AP Students, Test Scores CH-UH is putting its Equity Policy to good use, addressing long-standing issues of academic disparities head-on. In 2015, Heights High took a hard look at its twenty-one Advanced Placement courses and discovered that, in a building where the vast majority of students are black, the most rigorous classes were almost entirely white. The wheels were thus set in motion for a systemic change at Heights High. It took the concerted effort of administrators, teachers and students to get to an achievement level that has resulted in three years of great news.

Last fall, Heights was one of nine schools in Ohio to be named to the AP Honor Roll, which recognizes buildings that increase AP participation without a significant reduction in scores. In 2020, Heights High boasted a nearly 20% increase in the number of students earning a score of 3 or higher on AP exams, the standard for earning college credit. 52 students were named as AP Scholars by CollegeBoard for earning scores of 3 on three or more exams.

These results have been eye-opening. Dr. McKinnie believes that even more Heights students can do at least that well, saying “it’s not our job to be gate-keepers,” but to instead throw the doors wide open and “provide experiences and exposures early on.

We must keep equity at the center of all we do.”

Schools Make Socially Distanced Connections

Celebrates “Start With Hello” Week

Roxboro Elementary had an amazing week celebrating “Start With Hello!” this October.

Start With Hello Week was established by the Sandy Hook Promise foundation to raise awareness and educate students on how to reduce social isolation and create a more connected and inclusive school and community overall. This is more important now than ever due to the fact that we can’t be physically together.

Students at Roxboro Elementary were encouraged to participate in random acts of kindness and spread positivity by writing positive messages and emails to their classmates and teachers. They were also encouraged to pen positive messages to their family members at home.

College in the Age of COVID

Hannah Teets and Lila Schubert, 2020 graduates of Cleveland Heights High School, are both enrolled as freshmen at the University of Rochester. But the beginning of their college experiences could not be more different. Hannah Teets began her school year with a two-week quarantine on campus, while Lila Schubert began hers from behind a computer screen at her home in Cleveland Heights.

“I’ve been looking forward to going to college for as long as I can remember,” says Hannah, “I feel like I’ve been here for six months already. I’ve become really close, really fast to so many new friends. I didn’t expect to be so comfortable … It really feels like home.”

Lila, who can move onto campus at any point, is confident that she made the right decision staying home. “This works for me,” she says of virtual schooling, “I really like my classes and they feel super manageable.

HALL OF FAME SUPPORTERS AND SPONSORS The 40th Anniversary Hall of Fame was certainly like no other. In an all virtual format, the program reached more students, families, community members and alumni than ever before thanks to the support of the following committee members and other sponsors. We are grateful for your support of this impactful program.

Additional Sponsors As the Cleveland Heights High School’s 18U summer baseball team played a game on the home field over the summer, partway through the game, they were surprised by a loud bang. With the sight and smell of smoke in the air and the sudden sound of children screaming, players and fans from both teams rushed to a house on Washington Boulevard to help. A recently renovated duplex had caught fire due to faulty wiring, leaving two families, totaling 12 people and a dog, without a home.

Parents from the Heights Baseball Boosters immediately stepped up to help, promoting separate GoFundMe accounts for each family and coordinating donations of clothing and household goods. “In what has been a terrible year,” said Heights parent Vikki Nowak, “this is a story of community. Even the players have found ways to help.”
