Last week, we celebrated a huge milestone—our Class of 2026 8th graders promoted to high school! 🎉

We’re so proud of all they’ve accomplished and even more excited for what’s ahead. With support from the High School Placement team at Beyond Breakthrough, our scholars are heading to 46 high schools across the Cleveland area—including selective and non-selective schools, CMSD, community schools, public and private options, and all-boys, all-girls, and coed environments.

Even more incredible: they’ve secured $200,000 in scholarships for the 2026–27 school year through the Howley and Sullivan Scholarships.

The future is bright, and their journey is just beginning. 💫
