onticello Middle School and Roxboro Middle School renovation projects ended on time and on budget as they opened for students in August 2019. As part of the District’s master facilities plan, the $15 million renovation projects for each building began in the summer of 2017. The buildings were both designed by architect John H. Graham; Roxboro was built in 1926, and Monticello in 1930. During the last two school years, all middle school students (grades 6, 7 & 8) were housed together on the Wiley campus in University Heights, and that building is currently closed. It’s not just the buildings that have been upgraded. Both schools are now authorized International Baccalaureate World Schools. Roxboro and Monticello have new HVAC systems that include modern temperature controls (yes, that means air conditioning!) throughout the buildings, including the auditoriums. The focus of the renovations has been on improving the instructional space in each building. Every classroom in Monticello and Roxboro has new paint, flooring, ceilings, lighting, fire alarms, sound reinforcement system, interactive touch-screen display monitor, and a whiteboard. Administrative and common areas received facelifts with new carpet, paint and reception desks. As we celebrate these schools, we will honor Wiley’s history through the work of the Historical Archives.

HARI ZIYAD ’09 Ziyad is a highly decorated artist, speaker, author and screenwriter. More than that, they are an educator. Ziyad educates in pursuit of freedom for all who are oppressed by challenging traditional conceptions of race, gender, sexuality, class and power. Ziyad’s work has been featured in The Huffington Post, Gawker, Out, Ebony, Mic, The Guardian, Colorlines, The Root, AFROPUNK and many other publications. Creator of the digital publication RaceBaitr, a leading platform in conversation on race, gender and sexuality, their work has also been featured in many academic publications. “As someone who was homeschooled until I enrolled at Heights High, I owe some of my most significant understanding of what learning can look like and the power it can

have to this school, its teachers and students (after, of course, my mother).”
CLEA LEWIS ’83 “I loved Heights high and I talk about it a lot… how big and sort of crazy it was, how independent we could be, and how there was a group or a niche for everyone. My experience in the Heights Singers made a huge impact on me in terms of work ethic and discipline.” Lewis has appeared in over a dozen films, more than 20 television series and in numerous stage performances. Lewis’ longest recurring role was on Ellen as the character Audrey. Originally cast as a temporary role, Lewis’ endearing performance appealed to many and the role continued for nearly 80 episodes. From the success Lewis has achieved, her credit to the Vocal Music Department at Heights speaks volumes.
DEBORAH A. KOHN, JANUARY ’67 In the late 1970 s, Kohn was one of the first female systems engineers in what eventually became known as California’s Silicon Valley and the High Tech Industry, paving the way for females in STEM. Founder and Principal of Dak Systems Consulting for almost 35 years, Kohn assisted some of the most prestigious healthcare provider organizations in the country. Kohn’s energy and enthusiasm keep her active as a volunteer for the Anti-Defamation League and as a docent for San Francisco’s Contemporary Jewish Museum. “Being inducted... not only surpasses the honor I experienced having been elected Cleveland Heights High’s 1966 Homecoming Queen but symbolizes my gratitude for having had the privilege of attending this superior school.”
JR BREMER ’98 To the delight of students, parents and staff, Jr Bremer is settling in to his new role as Cleveland Heights High School Boys Basketball Coach. This Hall of Famer has been making a name for himself since winning the 1997 High School State Championship, under the coaching leadership of his mentor, the late Coach Cappelletti. From his days at St. Bonaventure University to the NBA to a decorated career in professional basketball overseas, Bremer is no stranger to awards and accolades. But becoming a Heights Hall of Fame member? Well to that he says, “Receiving this honor is something beyond anything that I could have ever imagined.”
ERIKA TAUBNER GOLD ’52 “If we do not know our history, we will repeat it…” a sentiment echoed often by Gold as she tirelessly tells her tale to anyone who will listen. As a Holocaust survivor, Gold knows firsthand the dangers of discrimination, intolerance and hate. She has been honored by the Cleveland Jewish News as a ‘Difference Maker’, someone who has made a large impact in their community by a commitment to repairing the world. Gold is a speaker, an advocate, a docent and a committee member to many organizations to ensure maximum outreach. It is with hope and optimism thad Gold warns, “we cannot be bystanders, we have to be aware of the warning signs and vote for leaders who are fair”.

HALL OF FAME CLASS OF 2018
PHIL MENDELSON ’70 Participating in Washington, D.C. politics since 1975, Mendelson has been a force of change for honest and effective government. As Chair of the Council of the District of Columbia, he believes that the District should help those least able to help themselves in developing skills to become self-sufficient and end the cycle of poverty. Mendelson has been serving as an elected member of the D.C. Council since 1999. He maintains that as the nation’s capital, the District should be a model of service delivery in public education, public safety and public health. Mendelson has been influential in gun control, marriage equality, renewable energy and increasing the minimum wage (just to name a few). “Being in the Hall of Fame is not just about me, but about Heights High as a school, Cleveland Heights-University Heights as a community, and about what each of us can do with our lives.”
VINCENT BROWN ’82 “During my time at Heights, I had the tremendous good fortune to take part in the arts, most importantly as a member of the choir. It was this direct and low cost public access to music and theatre which launched me on the path of my career”... and what a path it has been! Every writer has a voice, the way they see the world and how they translate it. For the most talented ones like Brown, that voice impacts the world. Brown’s award winning television writing can be found on PBS, Fox, Nickelodeon and more. Brown is an activist for equality and justice and a mentor to people of color, women and the LGBTQ community by helping artists from underrepresented groups develop their own voice and find success in Hollywood.
KATRENA CARR-PEROU ’98 At Heights High, Carr-Perou was All Conference in four sports. At Penn State she won two Big Ten Championships and played in the Final Four. How does one top that? Just ask Carr-Perou, who moved to New York City and became a national expert in supporting inner-city youth through arts education. As Executive Director of Inspiring Minds NYC (the largest arts education non-profit in NYC), Carr-Perou is dedicated to closing the achievement gap of underserved public school students. She oversees students
8
in 70 schools nationwide and has raised over $2M for arts education in NYC. Carr-Perou has dedicated her THE HEIGHTS MAGAZINE
career to replicating the sense of community she found in the Heights.
DAVID SKOKE ’68 For Skoke, success should not be measured by what you take from society, rather by what you give to it. He found his calling later in life while volunteering at hunger and homeless shelters in Atlanta. Recognizing the demand, Skoke was determined to find the supply. So he founded the non-profit Helping Feed Atlanta. What started with a 40 pound box of potatoes from Whole Foods seven years ago, has now provided nearly 1.5 million pounds of food to those in need. Skoke did not stop there. After single handedly changing Costco’s corporate policy regarding donations and convincing the Atlanta Food Bank and Feed America to join forces, Helping Feed Atlanta is now part of an organization that collects hundreds of millions of pounds of food each year. Skoke has proven his belief, that “The harder you work, the luckier you get”.
MARC S. POLLICK ’71 Pollick credits his time spent working with 1986 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, Elie Wiesel and his experience as the founding Executive Director of the Zachor Institute for Holocaust Studies and founder of The Elie Wiesel Institiute for Humanitarian Studies as the treasured experience that manifested professionally into The Giving Back Fund. As founder and president, The Giving Back Fund has managed more than 300 charitable entities worldwide to date. An internationally recognized speaker, writer and consultant on philanthropy, Pollick has worked with legends including Magic Johnson and Justin Timberlake. He has been featured on ESPN and HBO Sports and in Forbes and USA Today. Pollick believes that everyone has an inherent desire to give back and leave some mark on society beyond fortune and fame. “Receiving this honor is extra meaningful and special because I have family and my children here today with whom to share it. And hopefully, my mother is somehow aware of her son’s accomplishments that honor her memory.”

t first glance, it looked like the 45 young men of Cleveland Heights High School’s varsity and junior varsity baseball teams, standing tall and strong in their uniforms, were the athletes being honored that day. But no, it was really the four elderly gentlemen seated in front of them, one with a cane, another blind, who were the heroes inside Heights High’s cafeteria on Saturday, May 4. Thanks to the rain and thick fog that lay over Cleveland, what was supposed to be a field dedication with a ceremonial first pitch followed by a double header instead turned into an indoor event with hot chocolate and donuts. Heights Baseball has played all their home games at nearby Forest Hills Park since renovations began on their building four years ago. And that morning, standing water and mud rendered their brand new field on the high school campus unplayable. So instead of baseball’s present, the morning celebrated baseball’s past. Cleveland Heights High School has won a State Championship in baseball only once, 72 years ago. On that Saturday, the current players were joined by the four remaining members of the 1947 team: Outfielder Albert Morhard, assistant team manager Alvin Kitay, catcher Martin “Marty” Blake, and pitcher Morris “Moe” Savransky, all from the classes of 1947, ’48 or ’49. Savransky, who played for the Cincinnati Reds after graduating from Heights and Ohio State and now lives in Atlanta, was planning to throw out the first pitch on the high school’s recently completed field. “I think I can still make it across home plate,” said the gregarious 90-year old who still talks about his curveball in the present tense (as in, “No one can hit my curveball.”). The bad weather robbed Savransky of the chance to show off his famous southpaw pitch, but the day “was a fabulous time for all” according to Kitay and his wife Nancy. “We loved reminiscing about old times with Moe and especially meeting the baseball teams and their coaches. What polite young gentlemen they all were by shaking every hand.”
Outfielder Morhard, who also happened to be an All-Ohio quarterback, agreed. “This is a real nice bunch of boys here.” Donning his new Heights baseball cap and talking about how much his CH-UH education meant to him, Morhard said, “I love Heights High so much. I’m so glad, I could cry.” And then R PA ST AT E S O U LL C E LE B R BASEBA he did just that. The mood inside was bright as Captain Justin Rink introduced each of his teammates and as alumnus, parent and school board member Dan Heintz honored the 1947 players with his remarks and commemorative gifts. “I was thrilled to watch as the focus shifted from the weather and an opening pitch to sharing stories and celebrating our baseball program,” Heintz said afterwards. “The young players were glued to the old yearbooks and memorabilia, and loved talking to the players from ’47. Watching them, it seemed that they began to feel connected not only to each other but to the history of the team.” Coach Edwin Mugridge called the event, which was organized by the Baseball Boosters with support from the Heights Schools Foundation and the CH-UH Athletic Department, “truly unprecedented. These digital age kids were eagerly asking for stories and advice from their counterparts who played for Heights 70 years ago.” The players will carry this experience with them into their lives and onto the baseball field, which was finally ready for play in June.

Bassoonists Make Connection Seventy-Five Graduating Years Apart
T
hey gather in the mountains of North Carolina each summer. Bassoonists from across the country anticipate a special camp, filled with master classes, guest artists, small performances, and mentorship. The Glickman Popkin Bassoon Camp has been held at Wildacres Retreat each year for the last forty-two years. Heights graduate Aviva Klein (‘16) discovered that camp, and its Heights High connection, through her bassoon studies at University of Michigan. Klein was a top bassoonist in the Heights High Instrumental Music Department (IMD) and went on to major in bassoon musical studies. A couple of summers ago, Klein attended the Glickman Popkin Bassoon Camp recommended by her professors. She loved it, because this camp is different. All ages of participants and all levels of playing are welcome including college students, professional musicians, teachers, and those who just love to play the instrument. The relaxed environment allows for musical growth and appreciation, and many bassoonists make it an annual tradition. But something else made it special for Klein. Later that same summer, as her mother (Alexis (Ditte) Wolin, ’78) was working on getting the IMD Hall of Fame designed to be installed in the newly renovated Heights, Wolin ran across Loren Glickman (‘41), also a bassoonist. The bassoon playing world is small

THE HEIGHTS MAGAZINE
and interconnected. Wolin and Klein made the name connection and confirmed with Glickman family that the co-founder of the camp and the Heights graduate were one in the same! Klein had not met Glickman her first year at the camp, but when she returned this past summer, the two Heights graduates met and made a bassoon connection over 75 graduating years apart. As Klein introduced herself as a fellow Heights grad, Glickman joked about their age difference saying, “I didn’t see you there.” They spoke about the camp, and Glickman talked about his gratitude for the camp’s success over time and sense of community. Klein shared thoughts about her own experience at the camp, “You can play anything- all levels can perform and people will be supportive…from generation to generation, new people are welcomed into the tradition.” Glickman is recognized as one of the top American bassoonists, and as a composer and arranger of music for the bassoon. He’s published more than 100 pieces, composed music for films, authored three books, and taught on numerous musical faculties including Julliard School and Queen’s College. That legacy is continued each summer as musicians young and old gather together, like these two Heights graduates connected over time by music.

CANTERBURY ELEMENTARY
Last year’s fourth grade classes at Boulevard put their economics knowledge to good use as they brainstormed, created and sold unique products at their second annual Entrepreneurship Fair. Using funds secured by teacher Sherri Bellini from the Heights Schools Foundation’s Shark Tank competition, groups of students spent several weeks planning their products, purchasing raw materials, making the items, and preparing advertising for their target audience: each other. Students utilized concepts taught as part of their social studies curriculum on economics. Products ranged from tie-dye t-shirts to homemade soaps and slime to gumball machines. At the fair in May, each student was given tickets worth $10 so they could purchase items from their classmates. The gumball machines were the first to sell out. “You have to know your target audience,” said teacher Julie Walker.
Canterbury fourth grade teacher Mrs. Nadine Davis was honored by NewsDepth Ohio with their A+ award. The WVIZ/PBS ideastream program recognized Mrs. Davis on the May 9 episode for her innovative Digital Escape Room exercise. Based on the popular Escape Room game, students have to solve math problems in order to “escape” and win.
FAIRFAX ELEMENTARY
GEARITY ELEMENTARY
Fairfax Elementary School has been named an authorized International Baccalaureate (IB) World School. Fairfax, now one of five IB schools in the CH-UH City School District, joins a diverse, global community of educational institutions. The IB World School program seeks to educate students so they become thoughtful, caring, and prepared citizens of the world upon graduation. The goal is for IB students to not only navigate their own futures, but actively contribute to strengthening the world’s social, economic, and cultural environments. “Becoming an IB World School allows us the opportunity to plan innovative and relevant units of study,” said Principal Quatrice James. “Our educators are working with a curriculum that is engaging, challenging and transdisciplinary, all while helping our students become independent learners.”
Gearity Professional Development School has been a STEM-focused elementary school for a number of years and now the designation is official. Gearity has been selected to join the Ohio STEM Learning Network, receiving word of the accomplishment in late April. The Cleveland Heights-University Heights City School District now has two elementary schools officially designated as STEM schools. Boulevard Elementary earned the designation in 2018. CH-UH is the only school district in Northeast Ohio with two STEM-designated elementary schools. STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education provides students with a deep understanding of STEM subjects while incorporating inquirybased learning and design thinking in all subjects.

Several 21st Century Grant-funded programs came together this summer to host a twoweek camp, with the goal of creating a community garden on Delmore Road in Cleveland Heights. According to the leaders of New Heights, Roxboro Connects to the Community, and Noble STREAM, the camp was a great way to keep the students, who ranged from kindergartners to seniors, engaged over the summer months. They first went on a field trip to the Cleveland Botanical Gardens to gather ideas, then studied everything from types of soil to the proper placement of vegetables, eventually building raised boxes for the beds and planting a wide variety of vegetables, herbs and flowers. Students’ families were invited to participate as well, particularly the Nepali parents who live within walking distance of the garden. The garden’s success also depended on the kindness of neighbors, who offered water and electricity.
For one morning this past spring, the gym at Oxford Elementary School was transformed into a wax museum complete with figures ranging from Martin Luther King Jr. and Anne Frank to NASA engineer Mary Jackson and computer scientist and inventor Mark Dean. Fifth graders each chose an “inspirational and influential” person to research as part of their social studies and language arts curriculum. Working both in class and at home, students created brochures and displays with basic information and pictures. Then they did the harder part: embodying their figure. The famous figures were stationed around the gym, frozen in position waiting for a curious visitor to push the “button,” a sticker on their hand, that would make them spring into life. They then recited speeches they had written, some—like the very creative and enthusiastic Albert Einstein—complete with jokes and a pop quiz.

In the five years that Rox El has participated in the American Heart Association’s Kids’ Heart Challenge (previously called Jump Rope for Heart), they have raised more than $61,000 for the charity. Physical education teacher Vince Nemeth, who oversees the fundraiser, also organizes a school-wide celebration each May to honor the hard work of the student body, who last year raised more than $9,100 by collecting pledges from families and friends. Mr. Nemeth says he feels excited every year to “make a difference and save a life” with the help of his students.
The CH-UH Pre-K Action Team, a family engagement group, is utilizing Universal Pre-K funding to provide families of children with disabilities with a monthly playdate at the Family Connections Coventry location. Playdates will take place on the first Monday of the month starting October 7 from 10-11 a.m. The group will also offer monthly Conscious Discipline workshops at no cost to attendees. This workshop series is being hosted by Family Connections and PEP. The Exceptional Children’s Advocacy Group, a component of Reaching Heights, is assisting. Conscious Discipline is used in all of the District’s preschool and pre-kindergarten classrooms.

DISTRICT NEWS HEIGHTS MIDDLE SCHOOLS
HEIGHTS HIGH SCHOOL
Heights Middle School’s instrumental and vocal musicians represented their schools well when they competed at the annual Music in the Parks competition in May. The 124 members of the Chamber Orchestra, Honors Orchestra and Challenge Choir traveled to Sandusky, where they performed in the competition in the morning and enjoyed Cedar Point in the afternoon. The two orchestra ensembles earned Superior ratings and 2nd place finishes in their respective categories, and the honors choirs placed 3rd with an Excellent rating, their highest score in the past three years. Dan Heim and Katie Holaway, who teach instrumental music, were especially impressed by the dedication of their students, who meet outside of class or with very limited class time “and still compete at such a high level.” Challenge Choir director Jacob Ross said how proud he was “of all the students and how well they handled themselves that day.”
On August 13, the class of 2023 attended the Heights High Freshman Orientation presented by the school’s Link Crew. This group of juniors and seniors were trained to serve as mentors to help freshmen transition from middle school to high school. After several large group activities, small groups of freshmen and Link Crew members met in break-out sessions for ice breakers and to answer questions. The small groups then participated in “The Amazing Race,” which took each group to important locations in the school, including the nurses’ office, library, grade level offices and the guidance counselor’s office. The culminating event was lunch in the cafeteria. While the day ended with everyone making new friends and becoming more familiar with the building, the support of the Link Crew mentors will be available all year.

Freshman Orientation Eases Transition to High School
JASON KELCE SHARES HEIGHTS MEMORIES IN INTERVIEW Philadelphia Eagles center and Heights High Hall of Fame member Jason Kelce (’06) discusses how his school career helped shape his character and worldview as part of a series on public education for The Philadelphia Citizen. “...There were real opportunities at the school. It had, and still has, a really good AP program, and a lot of my classmates went to Ivy League schools and off to do all kinds of incredible things.” “...Being able to communicate and have relationships with all sorts of different individuals makes you more well-rounded and better able to communicate as an adult. I think that’s why my brother and I both have the emotional intelligence and the ability to connect not just as leaders on our given teams, but to connect with teammates from anywhere.” In the series, Kelce will spotlight leaders and organizations making a difference in the lives of Philly students.

Salute to Wiley
by Betsy Friedlander, Wiley ’86 n 1984, I walked into Frank L. Wiley Junior High School for the first time as a 7th grader. Thirty-five years later, my daughter is beginning her first year at Middle School and mine has closed its doors for good. Built in the mid-1950’s, Frank L. Wiley Junior High School would be the home of middle grade students for over 60 years. Wiley was first a junior high, then a middle school, and finally the interim location for Heights High followed by the middle schools during renovations. The halls of the brick building located on Miramar Boulevard are rich with a history of academics, sports and friendships of Wiley Warriors, a history that will not be forgotten. Frank L. Wiley was Superintendent of the CH-UH City School District for 28 years. Upon retiring in 1951, Wiley stayed on with the school board to assist with the 2.5 million dollar project to build a new junior high school to accommodate the growing community. Cedar Center was thriving with merchants and shops of all sorts including the Halle Bros. Department Store. The land south of Cedar Road between Warrensville Center Road and South Belvoir was home to the Huge brother’s 9-hole golf course. By 1957 this land would be home to the CH-UH Board of Education, Wiley Junior High, Purvis Park and The May Company. Consequently, Wiley Junior High took on the nickname the ‘country club’ school. I hope my daughter enjoys her time in middle school as much as I did at Wiley. Some of you were Cardinals, some were Rockets… but we were the WARRIORS! We will preserve that history as part of the historical archives, along with Roosevelt, Belvoir, and Coventry schools, because we are all One Tiger Nation.
