Reaching New Heights

July 25, 2025

From the Desk of Superintendent Young


Dear CHS Community,

As we continue to enjoy these summer days, I encourage families to keep finding opportunities to spend quality time together. Whether it's getting outdoors, trying new activities, or simply enjoying each other's company, these shared experiences are what make summer special.

We are now just one week away from the official start of OHSAA fall sports seasons. Student-athletes should ensure their physicals are current, focus on getting plenty of rest, and maintain proper hydration as they prepare for the upcoming season.

Next week brings a couple of activities to our campus. We will host our Youth Football Camp, and our elementary summer school program begins a two-week session for students participating by invitation. Looking ahead, August 11 marks an important day with orientations for both 6th grade and new middle school students, as well as 9th grade and new high school students. On August 13, we welcome our new elementary school families for their orientation.

It's also time to prepare for Ohio's Sales Tax Holiday, which runs from August 1-14. Be sure to check the school supply lists on our website as you begin your back-to-school preparations.

These events are clear signs that the 2025-26 school year is approaching. However, there is still plenty of summer break remaining to enjoy these final weeks with friends and family.

Reaching New Heights Together!

Guidelines

ACT Prep

Current: Freshman | Sophomores | Juniors

The teachers at Cuyahoga Heights High School are donating their time to offer ACT Prep Classes for current Freshman, Sophomores and Juniors.

In the spring sessions, students will get test taking tips by subject, take a practice test in that subject, and then review the test.

In the summer sessions, students will receive more extensive test taking tips by subject, take a practice test in that subject, and review the test.

On August 10, students will take a full-length practice test (all 4 subjects) and get scaled scores.

These courses are free but require the purchase of the book. You can purchase it on Amazon by clicking here: The Princeton Review 2025 ACT Review.

Please call Mrs. Connors in the main office at 216-429-5708 to register your child for one or all of the available dates.

Fire Alarm Upgrade

Einheit Electric Construction continues to make steady progress on the replacement of fire and security alarm systems in the Middle and High School complex. This full system upgrade follows last summer’s failure and is aimed at ensuring long-term safety and reliability.

A significant amount of new wiring has already been installed, and hardware installation is now underway. Work will continue throughout the summer as scheduled.
