Reaching Heights, the Cleveland Heights-University Heights Public Schools Foundation, is a citizen organization that encourages residents of Cleveland Heights and University Heights, Ohio to contribute to the success of our public schools.

Our mission: to mobilize community resources to foster highly valued public schools that provide all Cleveland Heights-University Heights students a successful education. Our six guiding principles: Our children deserve an excellent education and our community is responsible for making it available. Our community benefits from highly valued and successful public schools. An informed public is important to successful public schools. Vital schools depend on the support, interest, and involvement of the families and community they serve. An independent community-based organization can help citizens contribute to their public schools and can build confidence in them. Supporting teachers, who are the core of the edu-cation process, fosters educational success.
