90 Years in 90 Days: Former School Superintendent Deborah S. Delisle

90 photos that define Cleveland Heights

Cleveland Heights officially became a city in 1921. Cleveland Heights Patch is observing that 90th anniversary by compiling 90 photos to create an album of the city's past and present. We'll run the feature for 90 days, one photo at a time. Deborah S. Delisle led the Cleveland Heights-University Heights Schools for five years before becoming state superintendent of education for three years. Last August, the CH-UH School District recognized her achievements by naming its new educational center in her honor. The Deborah S. Delisle Educational Options Center, located in the former Taylor Academy, opened in September. It houses the district's registration and assessment office for transfer students and an alternative high school.

First Day of School for CHUH Students

A little later than most, Cleveland Heights-University Heights City Schools begin the 2011-2012 school year

Photo Gallery: CHUH School Ribbon-Cutting

The former Taylor Academy becomes the Deborah S. Delisle Educational Options Center

When Deborah Delisle served as superintendent of the Cleveland Heights-University Heights schools, her philosophy was summarized in eight words: every student, every day, some success, some way. After heading CHUH schools for five years, Delisle left in 2008 to become the state superintendent of education for three years. On Aug. 16, she returned to Cleveland Heights and attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the district's new educational center named in her honor. The Delisle Center, located in the former Taylor Academy, will be the home of the district's registration and assessment office for transfer students. It will also house an alternative high school. The building formally opens on Sept. 1.
