Staff Board of Trustees
The relentless search for effective strategies to meet the varied needs of our students is a school district strength that Reaching Heights has supported since 1990 with the School Team Grant program.
School-based teams may apply for up to $1,500 to implement a strategy that addresses an achievement issue that is of concern to the team. The grants promote collaboration, innovation and problem solving. The projects affect students, the team, and often lead to wider implementation of the ideas.
Each year teams create an inspiring collage of projects that address a multitude of achievement issues in classrooms across the district, across grade levels and in every subject. The projects are as varied as the students they are meant to serve but reflect the district expectation for rigor, relevance and relationships. There is never a lack of great ideas.
Reaching Heights raises the funds for these grants from the community through the annual Reaching Heights Adult Community Spelling Bee, donations to the Thank-A-Teacher program and from donor designated gifts. The DiGeronimo Family Foundation and the Cleveland Heights and University Heights Teachers, Retired are frequent donors to this grant program.
