Purchase Tickets For Induction Ceremony 

April 23, 2018 -- The Heights Schools Foundation is inducting 10 accomplished individuals into the Cleveland Heights High School Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame in 2018.

Heights High School has a rich tradition of excellence; our graduates are highly accomplished and span the globe. Each year, up to 10 former students are inducted into the Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame for their outstanding accomplishments and service to their community.

The newest class of distinguished alumni will be inducted during a public ceremony on Friday, May 4, from 4-5 p.m. in the Heights High auditorium. The community can purchase tickets for $5 each using this link. Current Heights High students can get free tickets to the ceremony by contacting Dean of Student Josh Luton.

The Heights Schools Foundation is also hosting a public reception for the inductees at The Wine Spot on Lee Road on Friday beginning at 7:30 p.m.

Each year, nominations are accepted from alumni and the general public. A Heights Schools Foundation (formerly the CHHS Alumni Foundation) committee reviews applications for completeness and recommends a pool of candidates to the Heights High student group, Image Makers. The students review applicants without identifying information and choose the top 10. 

Congratulations to the 2018 inductees!
