Oh, the places they've gone! 🐾💙💛

This fall, we asked Euclid graduates to share their stories, and wow, did you answer. From the class of 1967 to the class of 2026, Panthers are leading classrooms, launching businesses, serving our country, and lifting up their communities across Ohio and beyond.

You'll meet:
🍷 A Cleveland Heights winery owner
⚓ A Naval Academy graduate who served on ships in Japan
🏈 An athletic trainer for Iowa State football
⛳ An LPGA professional and golf coach
👟 The founder of a footwear company
🍎 A 2019 Ohio Teacher of the Year
…and so many Panthers who came home to teach right here in Euclid.

Again and again, they named the teachers, coaches, band directors, and programs that shaped who they became. And their advice to today's students? Get involved, ask for help, keep going, and be proud to be a Panther.

Read all of their stories in the Euclid Observer 👉 https://www.theeuclidobserver.com/articles/oh-the-places-theyve-gone-euclid-alumni-share-their-stories/

As we close out Ohio Principals Month, we’re celebrating Jason Coleman, Principal of Memorial Options Center, where students discover new paths to success through creative teaching, career exploration and individual support.

In his recent Board presentation, Mr. Coleman highlighted Memorial’s hands-on learning, programs such as Thrive and Panther Academy, and career opportunities in Urban Agriculture, Robotics and Automation, Boutique Services and Job Training Coordination. Just as central to Memorial’s work are the relationships and support that help students feel connected, build confidence and find a fresh start.

Thank you, Mr. Coleman, for leading with compassion and helping students discover their strengths and possibilities! 🐾

Our Issue 5 Levy Information Series continues with a look at the reductions already made and what could be affected without additional revenue.

Last year, Euclid City Schools reduced its budget by $3.5 million through reductions in purchased services and staffing, including 47 positions across the district. During those reductions, Euclid Schools tried to avoid cuts that would impact the student experience.

Separately, the district refinanced its building bonds, saving taxpayers $5 million.

Without additional revenue, further reductions would likely extend beyond basic classroom instruction. Areas that could be affected include extracurricular programs, student clubs, electives, on-campus College Credit Plus, athletics, music, transportation beyond state minimum requirements and class sizes.

We’re sharing this information to help residents understand the district’s financial outlook and the proposed operating levy on the November 3 ballot.

Learn more and follow the full informational series at www.euclidschools.org/page/levy-information.
