Dear Garfield Heights City School Community,

The 2019-2020 School Year Officially kicked-off yesterday, and I'm happy that, thanks to your cooperation and collaboration, all went smoothly. Throughout the District, students were greeted by friendly and smiling staff members, who welcomed our young ones with open arms. Thank you to everyone who plays a vital role in the preparation required to successfully launch another school year. We plan to make this one, our very best yet.
The GHCS formally thanks the Helping Hands Committee from Marymount Hospital, who generously donated a variety of school supplies to all first grade students in the District. Pens, pencils, tissues, folders, notebooks and other classroom supplies were all donated, and we are grateful for these generous individuals from the Helping Hands Committee. Thank you all, once again.
The Back-to-School festivities will continue on Friday, September 6, 2019, everyone with our 5th annual Fall Family Fun Night and Superintendent Meet-and-Greet. For $10 for the entire family, participants can come and enjoy food-and-drink, bounce houses, fun and games and receive free admission to the Varsity Football Home Opener against Lakewood. Keep an eye out for more information at the buildings.
 As many in the community know, the District lost a great asset in Michael Douglas, who promoted diversity, and helped teachers, students, and parents make positive connections. To honor his memory, a newly created Diversity Champion Award was given to High School teachers Ashley Turner and Amanda Sizler during our Staff Welcome Back Ceremony, for their excellent efforts last year to help promote diversity, social and emotional stability through the Project Mosaic initiative. Their efforts helped students to stretch and to grow. Congratulations once again.
Throughout the school year, District leadership will begin working towards the re-visitation of a Strategic Plan, complete with a mission statement, vision statement, beliefs and goals that will carry us into the future. The community should be aware that this initiative will be underway, likely around the start of the new calendar year, and the District will keep everyone posted.
Christopher G. Hanke, Superintendent
