Clair McElfresh Scholarship Fund

A group of alumni are excited about creating a scholarship fund in honor of vocal music teacher, Dr. Clair T. McElfresh, otherwise known as “Mac”. Mac directed the Heights High Men’s Chorus and Girls’ Glee Club in the early to mid-60s, and from ‘66 until 1973, the Cleveland Heights High School Choir.

They are seeking all Heights High Choir, Glee Club, and Men’s Chorus alumni who want to thank Clair McElfresh (Mac) for the great example he set in terms of musicianship, showmanship, and character. To learn more about Mac’s Scholarship, go to www.mac-scholarship.wikispaces.com.

Purchase a book and help the Foundation

Heights High graduate Harvey Sisler, Class of '56, has made us an offer we can't refuse and we hope alumni will take advantage of it. Whenever someone purchases a book from his website, www.harveysbookstore.com, $2 from each sale will be donated to the Alumni Foundation. Be sure to check out his website and when you purchase one of his books, be sure to reference the Foundation. Our thanks to Harvey for this support!

Every Tiger Has a Tale
A New Book By Heights Alumnus Gary Stromberg

With over 50,000 graduates of Heights High, there are a lot of stories to tell, and local journalist (and Heights High grad) Gary Stomberg has collected a number of them in his latest book, Every Tiger Has a Tale. With stories about Heights alumni from across the country and spanning the generations, it is a great snapshot of the incredibly diverse and impressive students who have been a part of our history for over 75 years.

Be sure to check your local bookstore for a copy or click here to order.
