Sean Sullivan Teaches Kids About Soccer, Life: People of the Year

Sullivan was named Soccer Coach of the Year in Ohio and is a teacher at Noble Elementary School.

Each year Sean Sullivan gathers as many teddy bears and stuffed animals as he can and donates them to the kids at Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital. Last year he donated around 2,000 to children. "He's always there to support the kids, whatever age they are," Mayor Ed Kelley said of Sullivan.

CHHS Boys' Soccer Team Upsets Mentor

Tigers will face Mayfield in district final

Cleveland Heights soccer coach Sean Sullivan is positively gushing these days. And why shouldn’t he? The Tigers went on the road and knocked off top seed and perennial powerhouse Mentor, 1-0, Wednesday evening and reached a Division I district final. This is the deepest the team has advanced into the postseason in six years. Cornelius Pewu, who some might recall kicks for the football team, booted in the winning score 35 minutes into the first half for the Tigers (11-5-2). Andrew Bennett’s goalkeeping, fronted with a stout defense, kept the potent Cardinals’ attack from scoring. In all his years at Cleveland Heights, Sullivan hadn’t defeated Mentor before Wednesday night. “I have been with the program for 19 years, eight as an assistant …

New artificial turf field and picnic area to open by summer

Denison Park is getting a makeover. The City of Cleveland Heights will start building a new artificial turf field in Denison Park once the weather improves, and it will open by the end of July.  Council approved the new field in the Spring of 2010, said Susanna Niermann O’Neil, director of the community services department at Cleveland Heights, at a meeting on Jan. 11.
