Come and enjoy an evening of urbane entertainment with our Chamber Music Concert, this Thursday at 7pm. Small groups will be performing in the auditorium, so come support them!

Thank you to Mary Tyler, Kelly Nguyen and Bayra Garfield who helped fit the remaining students with marching band uniforms. They wouldn’t look so dapper without you!!

Cleveland will again host the 2026 PIL Solo & Ensemble Contest –  Volunteers needed!!

On Saturday, February 28 Cleveland HS will host the District 1 Solo & Ensemble Contest. This is primarily a student run affair, but parents are needed in key positions to help make the event run smoothly. We need parent help both Friday afternoon and most of Saturday to assist with setting up, supervising students, and putting classrooms back the way we found them.

Here is the sign-up link.

Come and help us make this a memorable event for all who participate! Thanks!!
