As we enter the last couple of weeks of school, we are excited to invite you to some upcoming events. This week, please join us for a night of music with our band, orchestra, and drumlines! The event will take place in our auditorium from 6:00 - 8:00 pm, we'll have snacks available in the lobby starting at 5:00 (some free, some for purchase/donation), and will involve 80 different students involved in performances. Come join us and enjoy performances from our phenomenally talented students.

CLICK HERE to pre-order your 2025 Cleveland Yearbook or have your student fill out an order form in room 1162. Yearbooks will arrive in early June before Graduation.

Books cost $50 until Dec 31st. The price then rises to $60 on January 1st.

To purchase a Senior Grad Ad for your 12th Grader, you must buy the space before December 31st. Once purchased, the yearbook staff will reach out to you via email in January for your 12th Grader’s pictures and any messages you want to include.

Click here to purchase your Yearbook and select the option to purchase a Senior Grad Ad.

Click here to order your cap & gown! If seniors want to do a partial payment and use paper, they can stop by Mr. Campbell's room (Room 2264 in Building 2).

It is important seniors place their order before Winter Break – if they miss the group order placed with the manufacturer, they will need to pay additional costs for an individual order. We are using a plain red gown with a specialized 2025 graduation stole.

If students had a sibling that graduated recently and fit in their gown, they can reuse the gown and only order a stole for $30

Please continue to check our school website for continued updates for the Class of 2025.

The College Career Leadership Team (CCLT) at Cleveland is reaching out to see if you (or any friends, family, coworkers, or acquaintances) would be willing to speak to Cleveland students about your career path. This is for a new event series we’re currently calling “Career Cafes”. Based on student feedback from previous years, we are aiming to provide more active and concrete career education to our 9th and 10th graders. Students have indicated that they need more in-person interaction with adults working in various fields.

If you or someone you know might be interested, reach out to counseling intern Izzy Steiger using this contact information with or fill out this Microsoft Form. We are looking for around 12-24 volunteers and a wide variety of career fields, so don't hesitate to recommend anyone!

Thank you all for your help. We’ll follow up with more details in the coming weeks.

Earlier this week, we shared with you an important notice from Public Health regarding a case of pertussis (whooping cough) at Cleveland. Please be sure to review this important information and guidance for what to do if your child develops (or has developed) a cough.

Please mark your calendars and use this link to join the meeting!

Both applications are due February 14, 2025. We strongly encourage ALL seniors to complete both applications as soon as possible to guarantee access to two FREE years of college. It also ensures students have ample time to complete additional steps in the enrollment process.
