The Garfield Heights City Schools began the 2025-2026 school year on Friday, August 22nd with smiles, excitement, and warm welcomes from staff members throughout the district. Superintendent Dr. Richard Reynolds greeted students at the High School and Elmwood Elementary School. The district welcomes Mr. Vawters, Mr. Freilino, and Ms. Woodson into new roles as principals at the High School, Maple Leaf, and William Foster, respectively, joining Mrs. Frimel at Elmwood and Mr. Loretz at the Middle School as our administrative team. Students walking to school were aided by the support of the safety forces in Garfield Heights and our dedicated crossing guards. Parents and family members helped make the first day smooth and successful. This year, we will all be Bulldog Strong! Let's make the 2025-2026 school year our very finest year!
