Cathedral school hosts high school fair

Cleveland area private and public school guidance counselors took part in Hope Academy Cathedral’s annual seventh and eighth grade high school fair.

Benedictine High School, Cleveland Central Catholic, John Hay Health Careers, Regina High School, Saint Martin de Porres, and St. Peter Chanel took part in the event.

Students received information about admission requirements, application deadlines, athletic eligibility requirements, entrance exam dates, scholarship opportunities, tuition and financial information and prospective student shadowing opportunities.

United Way drive kicks off

Life Skills Centers, Hope Academies and DELAs will hold their United Way drive Nov. 19-30.

A kickoff party was held Nov. 16 at Main Place.

"We work with community agencies, volunteers and donors so that we can help improve lives right here in our own community," said Laura J. Brelin, Resource Development Director for the United Way of Summit County. "We also help people achieve financial stability so they can improve their own lives."

The schools raised over $19,000 last year for the United Way and has a $20,000 goal for this year.

Raffles will be held with prizes including Ohio State mens basketball tickets, loge tickets to a January Cleveland Cavaliers game and tickets to the Palace Theatre production of "Avenue Q."

Here is a video of Brelin talking about the event.
