In an effort to develop more globally aware students, our program created the Options Global Ambassadors Initiative. This initiative provided male students the opportunity to participate in a mind-broadening international experience that significantly impacted their lives.
Darian Cruz, Cherronn Hodge, and Nathan Jolly traveled to London, England for seven days during the 2nd semester of the 2015-2016 school year. The Cleveland Heights-University Heights School City School District solidified a partnership with Evelyn Grace Academy in Brixton, South London.
The trip afforded our students the opportunity to engage in a weeklong experience that included full immersion in Evelyn Grace Academy. Students also participated in panel discussions, reflective journaling and cultural site visits to Stonehenge and Oxford University.
We would like to acknowledge those that contributed to the Options Global Ambassadors Initiative:
