Prologue

In 1901, wilderness covered the northeastern corner of the Lee and Cedar crossroads. The abundance of wildlife attracted many hunters from the surrounding communities; wild strawberry plants and apple trees abounded.

Then signs of community growth began to appear in Cleveland Heights. In 1902 the village became incorporated, the first bond issue of the Cleveland Heights Board of Education was passed. sufficient amount of money had been raised to purchase some land on Lee Road, one mile north of the Cedar-Lee intersection. A red brick high school building was to be constructed!

Cleveland Heights High School - 1903-1915

This was actually the fourth school building to belong to the Cleveland Heights Board of Education. Three other schools were operating, but they did not accommodate the high school grades. Students of high school age from Cleveland Heights attended the township academy, later to become Shaw High School, in East Cleveland.
