Visitors Speak About Civil Discourse

Shaker Heights Mayor David Weiss joined a Lower School assembly to talk with students about democracy and local government. Fourth graders Parker, Neil, and Eakam asked insightful questions about leadership, community, and his job as mayor. 

The Middle School social studies department launched the special elections unit with a Q&A session featuring US alumni Ohio State Representative Steve Demetriou ‘07 and Councilman Eric Synenberg ‘97.
