The Cleveland High School Alumni Hall of Fame started in 2013 as a way to celebrate significant
achievements by alumni and connect them with current students. These inductees are chosen through a selection process based on outstanding contributions in their fields of endeavor.
The Cleveland High School Alumni Hall of Fame continues to evolve with new inductees each year.
Selection criteria look at how these alumni have made outstanding achievements, impacted their
communities, lived a life of service and showed the heart of a Raider.
Members of the community can submit a nomination year-round before selection in May. For more
