10 Inducted into Heights High Alumni Hall of Fame

For the past 31 years, the Cleveland Heights High School Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame has inducted more than 300 alumni who have made significant achievements in their professions.

A Heights High student committee selects the inductees from a list of nominees from the general public with only their achievements listed, not their names. 

The ceremony to honor this year's inductees was May 5 at Executive Caterers at Landerhaven. Those recognized include graduates from 1948 and 1999.
