Brush High School Welcomes New Students
Brush High School provided a special breakfast on Friday morning to give students new to the school this year a warm welcome. Students met a variety of school staff and were joined by student ambassadors and members of the Kindness Club.
After introductions, students and staff had an opportunity to mix and mingle, chat about how their transitions to Brush are going, and discuss what our new students might still need as they continue to acclimate to their new school.
Welcome to this great group of new Arcs!

SEL Schools Partners with The Music Settlement
The SEL Schools Band Program is excited to announce a new partnership with The Music Settlement!
This partnership opens the door for SEL students to receive high-quality private music instruction taught by expert musicians from The Music Settlement of Cleveland. Beyond individual lessons, students will have access to specialized jazz ensembles, group studios, and a variety of performance opportunities designed to deepen their skills and passion for music. Additionally, families can explore financial aid options through The Music Settlement, as well as valuable support from the Mayor of Lyndhurst’s Music Scholarship Program, making this opportunity accessible to many of our young musicians and families. This collaboration truly elevates our band program and enriches the musical journey for all involved!
