I also coached football and basketball with Mike Remesch and Pete Geiser. Due to a reduction in force, I was released and found another job in Seneca County and have been here since. I often wonder about my former students and people that I enjoyed teaching with as a staff. Many pleasant memories for me come from my days at Garfield Heights."

Ashley (Class of 2008) wrote, "I am currently going to the Garfield Heights High School. I can't believe when everyone said that this year would fly by and that you truly get to know the people you hang out with...meaning some can be bad and some can be good friends. I am proud to say that I am graduating from Garfield in June!"
Lisa (Class of 1988) wrote, "GHHS gave me open opportunities in life that I was not aware of until now. Ms. Wrona helped my artistic abilities in life to be creative in all that I do. And Mr. Wise... the things I learned a lot from him in his class (wood working). I learned how to fix up my own home and help others with theirs. Most importantly it lead me to a military carrier in fire fighting and carpentry/masonry in the the Army and I love it. I was not able to attend my reunion because I had to go on a tour with the military. I hope I could make it to the next one!"
Joan (Class of 1980) wrote, "I was the middle of five children who went to Maple Leaf Elementary and graduated from GHHS. My brother almost didn't graduate for streaking during track practice. We had exceptional teachers, like Mr. Horward-Biology, Mr. Nikodem-Calculus,Mrs. Daugherty-history & NHS, Mr. Jones in Mixed Ensemble and Acappella Choir (I was there his 1st year), and our chemistry teacher was so devoted (I can't remember name) we had a summer gardening class and she taught us so much. I now work for the US Forest Service and live on a small farm in central Ohio. Mr. Rose was Asst. Principal and my B-Ball coach, and his enthusiasm and work ethic was astounding. After college I assisted Ms. Buckley a couple years with the V-ball team, I loved being part of the school again. I was able to pursue goals academically, athletically, vocally and socially at GHHS. Keep up the good work!"
Walter (Class of 2010) wrote, "I am currently enrolled at Garfield Heights High. Since I have been at this school, I have had many more advantages at an education then any other school before. I have more help when it comes to my academic courses things such as OGT tutoring, and SAT/ACT prep classes. We have excellent sports programs and other extracurricular activities. We have nice friendly staff that is good with the students. I would really hope to graduate from here, and with the help of Garfield Heights High I really think that will be able to happen."
Andrea (Class of 2012) wrote, "I came to Garfield Heights when I was in the 7th grade. I was scared, being the new girl and all. I soon found I had nothing to fear, until I came to the high school. I was, am, still scared even today. But I found the only thing to fear is fear itself. I live each day without regret and live to the fullest."
Alan (Class of 1961) wrote, "I was always interested in aviation after high school. I started taking flying lessons at Cleveland Hopkins. I was hired as a co-pilot with a Cleveland based coal company. I flew for several corporations and airlines. I retired recently from Gulfstream Pacific Airways. The best time of my schools days were at GHHS.

If anyone has any information about my first grade class, please contact me at jasperkelly01@yahoo.com."

After graduation, I spent five year in the Air Force and then moved to Montana which is where I presently live. I have only been back to Ohio on two occasions many years ago. Would like to hear from you. standpede@bresnan.net

When people told me that my high school years would fly by, I did not belive them. To look at the conversations on that topic, I can't do anything now but say that they were right! I AM GOING TO ENJOY THE REST OF MY HIGH SCHOOL YEARS AS THEY FLY BY. GO BULLDOGS!!!!!!!!!

I have one in Elmwood, one in the Middle School and one who will graduate this year and move on to Kent State. Such a long, wonderful history in this city! Thanks for the memories!"
