Pack your chairs and blankets and join us on the Onaway field for a fun and festive evening at the Shaker Heights Schools Back-to-School BBQ on Wednesday, August 6, from 6-8 p.m.
With spring break around the corner, I would like to take a moment to reflect on the exceptional opportunities available to our students. As many of you are already aware, the District is also facing a more challenging financial forecast now than we have in recent history.
n order to provide for intentional start-of-school orientation time for students, particularly for those students who are transitioning to new buildings or who are new to the District, Shaker Heights Schools is planning to continue the use of a staggered start for the 2025-2026 school year.
At its Tuesday, January 14, 2025, meeting, the Shaker Heights Board of Education approved revisions to the 2025-2026 academic calendar.

International Baccalaureate
As an International Baccalaureate school, our curriculum is designed to nurture, educate students who are creative thinkers and skillful problem solvers and who are actively engaged in our global and multicultural society.
Educational Equity
We work to understand and dismantle long-standing systemic barriers that have resulted in persistent racial disparities in academic achievement. These same barriers also prevent a true sense of belonging.
Facilities Plan
Our vision is for all Shaker Heights children to attend school in buildings that are modern, safe and inclusive; support academic excellence; are diverse, integrated and welcoming; promote community, and; allow the District to remain fiscally responsible.
