The contest is open to all K-12 students who live or attend school in Cleveland Heights, and the DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS is Wednesday, January 11, 2023.
All K-12 students from Cleveland Heights (public, private, parochial, and home-schooled) are invited to enter essays, poems, or posters that address the following prompt:
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was an activist for racial equity, economic justice, and an end to war. What work does our society still need to do on these issues, and how will you help carry on Dr. King’s legacy?
Essays and poems should be no more than 500 words in length. If they wish, students may submit entries in more than one category.
Essays, poems, and posters will be judged by the City, and contest winners will be invited to the City’s annual Celebration of the Life and Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on Thursday, January 19, 2023, at 7:00 pm at the Cleveland Heights Community Center to read their poems and essays and explain their posters. Winners also will receive a certificate and have their photograph taken with the Mayor and City Council.
Photographs will appear in the City’s social media and print publications, and posters, essays, and poems will hang in the City Hall Atrium throughout Black History Month in February 2023.
Essays and poems should be submitted as text or pdf documents; poster entries may be submitted as digital photos or image files. We will arrange to pick up hard copies of entries from students who are unable to submit them through the online form. Students must fill out all the required fields so that we can contact the winners and include their correct information in the ceremony program and other media.

Cleveland Heights council president, VP review first year under new form of government | |
CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, Ohio -- All in all, it was a pretty good year for City Council, with no rubber stamps and no chairs or punches thrown.
Although their comments were overshadowed by Councilwoman Josie Moore's resignation, Cleveland Heights Council President Melody Joy Hart and Vice President Craig Cobb offered their take Dec. 16 on the year that was.
Acknowledging that there were some “growing pains” in the first year under a new form of government, Cobb noted that he had the longest tenure, having served on two prior councils since 2019.
“I think council has done its job this year, and in my opinion, done a good job,” Cobb said.

Cleveland Heights joins county's electric public utility program | |
CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, Ohio -- In becoming the fourth community to join Cuyahoga County's start-up electric public utility program, Cleveland Heights officials already have a potential "microgrid" project lined up in the city.
Although still in its very formative stages, county Sustainability Director Mike Foley believes the Taylor Tudor Plaza redevelopment project could serve as a prototype through the agreement City Council approved last month.
“We would love to have Cleveland Heights in the mix, because the Cain Park Village (Revitalization Project, including the city-owned Taylor Tudors) can be one or a set of projects,” Foley told the Transportation and Environmental Sustainability Committee Dec. 16, just prior to council’s unanimous passage of the local operating agreement.
