Shaker Heights Schools

Elementary school principals met with architects from GPD Group and Robert P. Madison International today to discuss the Long-Term Master Facilities Plan! Architects shared options for interior finishes for the principals to review 🏫 Collaboration between the elementary principals during the design process ensures that all schools will have similar, consistent finishes.

Earlier this spring, the Shaker Youth Collaborative shared an update with the Forward Together Steering Committee, highlighting efforts to better connect and strengthen youth programming across our community.

Through student engagement and collaboration among schools, the City of Shaker Heights, the Shaker Heights Public Library, the Shaker Youth Center and other partners, the Collaborative is working to expand opportunities, address barriers to participation and ensure young people have access to supportive spaces and meaningful experiences.

The group’s next steps include improving coordination, enhancing communication and continuing to build partnerships that support Shaker’s youth ❣️

Congratulations once again, Class of 2026. Once a Raider, always a Raider! ❤️🤍

We recently celebrated a very special milestone — the graduation of the inaugural preschool class of the Ludlow Early Learning Center! ✨🎓

What began as a new chapter for a historic school turned into a year filled with learning, laughter, growth and joy. Our youngest learners have blossomed through curiosity, creativity, and friendship, and we could not be prouder of all they have accomplished.

Congratulations to the first-ever graduating preschool class of Ludlow Leapers! 🐸 Your journey is just beginning, and we'll see you in Kindergarten this fall! 🥹
