Michael Adamo, a Senior at Cuyahoga Heights High School, led a recent service project which involved sending 100 donated t-shirts to the University of Houston to help those affected by Hurricane Harvey. The service project was prompted by a letter from University of Houston Men’s Basketball Coach Kelvin Sampson to Cuyahoga Heights Boys Basketball Coach Matt Streicher, detailing the devastation caused by the storm, as well as opportunities to help those affected. A point guard for the Boys Varsity Basketball team, Michael took the lead by helping to organize, package and ship 100 extra basketball program t-shirts, along with a letter on behalf of the entire team to Coach Sampson at the University of Houston. The Cuyahoga Heights Schools salute Michael Adamo for his leadership and act of service on behalf of those in need.

Congratulations to Eric Holler on earning his Eagle Scout
This past summer, Senior Eric Holler completed his Eagle Scout Service Project on his journey to Eagle Scout Rank. For his project, Eric chose to renovate four practice rooms in the high school and middle school music wing. Vocal and instrumental music students throughout the year use these rooms to practice and perfect their craft. Having last been remodeled more than a decade ago, Eric applied fresh coats of paint, installed acoustic sound boards, and performed other aesthetically pleasing tasks to modernize these highly functional spaces. To complete the project, Eric used donations and fundraising to support the cost of materials, as well as assistance from very good friends. CHS is very grateful for the outstanding service that Eric provided to the students of our district, both presently and in the many years to come. Best of luck to Eric Holler on the completion of his Eagle Scout requirements.
