Our Passion: Excellent Public Education

"An independent community-based organization can help citizens contribute to their public schools and can build confidence in them." That's one of the six principles that guides our work at Reaching Heights, an independent citizen organization in Cleveland Heights and University Heights, Ohio.

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 principles:

1. Our children deserve an excellent education and our community is responsible for making it available.

2. Our community benefits from highly valued and successful public schools.

3. An informed public is important to successful public schools.

4. Vital schools depend on the support, interest, and involvement of the families and community they serve.

5. An independent community-based organization can help citizens contribute to their public schools and can build confidence in them.

6. Supporting teachers, who are the core of the education process, fosters educational success.
