Cleveland High

Cleveland City Schools will be closed Monday, January 26 and Tuesday, January 27 due to winter weather and extremely cold temperatures. We will continue to monitor conditions and share updates as needed. Updates regarding sporting events and other extracurriculars will also be provided as necessary.

🔥🎉 Somebody's gotta be #1... Why not us? 🎉🔥 Cam Garcia, Eli Bolin, and Jaxson Jones are Unified Team Bowling State Champions!!!Coaches: Archie Crossland and Seth LaMagna Cleveland High School completed its first season of Unified Bowling. Unified Bowling pairs one student athlete without an intellectual disability with two student athletes with intellectual disabilities, emphasizing teamwork, inclusion, and competitive excellence. For a first year program, this result speaks volumes about the commitment, effort, and culture that is being built. In our first season of Unified Bowling, these three set the standard. They competed with poise, trusted each other, and brought home a state title. That says a lot about who they are and what we’re building at Cleveland. All In. All Cleveland

Rowdy Raider and our amazing CHS students are back at it! 🎉 Today they visited Yates Primary and Mayfield Elementary to recognize classrooms that truly exemplify the Heart of a Raider. 💙 Proud of our students, proud of our schools… it’s always a GREAT day to be a Raider! 🙌
