The Cleveland High School Alumni Hall of Fame recognizes graduates who have achieved at a high level in their field and made meaningful contributions through their work, service, and leadership. These honorees represent the tradition of excellence that has long been part of Cleveland High School.
Selection criteria include being a Cleveland High School graduate for at least 10 years, outstanding achievement, community impact, a life of service, and the Heart of a Raider.
“This is one of those traditions that means so much to Cleveland High School and our community,” said Dr. Jeff Elliott, Director of Schools for Cleveland City Schools. “Each of these inductees carries the Blue Raider legacy in a meaningful way. Their accomplishments, service, and commitment remind our students that what begins here can make an impact far beyond our school walls.”
The community is invited to celebrate this year’s Hall of Fame Class on Friday, September 18, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. in Raider Arena. The ceremony will recognize the accomplishments of each inductee and honor the lasting connection they have to Cleveland High School.
The inductees will also be recognized later that evening during the Cleveland High School football game. Additional details about the game and recognition will be shared closer to the event date.
“We are excited to celebrate this outstanding group of Blue Raiders,” said Bob Pritchard, Principal of Cleveland High School. “Their stories reflect the pride, character, and sense of service we hope to see in every Cleveland High School graduate. It will be a special day for our school and our community.”
The Cleveland High School Alumni Hall of Fame continues to celebrate alumni who have made a lasting difference through their careers, service, leadership, and love for their community.
