Cleveland’s first tuition-free all-girls high school is coming

A brand new, tuition-free, all-girls high school is set to open on Cleveland’s southeast side in 2026, aiming to close the equity gap for Black and brown girls who’ve had limited options. Dr. Luciana Gilmore, a former CMSD principal, is leading the charge with FORWARD Girls Leadership Academy, focusing on leadership, STEM, and global humanities. Unlike other private schools with steep tuition, this independent academy will be accessible to all, starting with 75 ninth graders. No sports teams at first—just a deep investment in academics and support. What do you think about single-gender schools as a way to boost opportunity and confidence? #Education #Cleveland #GirlsEducation

Fisher spotted in Cleveland after 100 years

A fisher, a native mammal not seen in Cuyahoga County for over a century, was just caught on camera in the Cleveland Metroparks! This rare sighting is a huge win for local conservation efforts, showing that restoring habitats really can bring wildlife back. Fishers vanished from most of Ohio by the mid-1800s due to habitat loss and trapping, so seeing one here again is a big deal. What do you think this means for the future of our parks and local wildlife? Have you noticed any other surprising animal comebacks lately? #Science #Cleveland #Wildlife

Cleveland’s holiday bash brings real cheer

Families in Cleveland’s St. Clair-Superior neighborhood are getting more than just gifts this weekend—Towards Employment’s annual Holiday Bash is all about dignity and real community support. Instead of just handing out toys, parents get to “shop” for the perfect gifts for their kids, complete with wrapping stations and volunteers ready to help. This event has grown from a small toy drive to a huge celebration serving hundreds of local children, showing how much a community can accomplish together. What’s your favorite way to give back or spread cheer during the holidays? #Safety #Cleveland #HolidayGiving

Cleveland remembers Coach Schofield’s legacy

The Rhodes High School gym was filled with emotion as the community honored Keith Schofield, the beloved basketball coach who led the team to a city championship in 2004. His family received a framed jersey, a powerful symbol of the lives he touched—players who still call him a mentor and friend. After surviving a dramatic car accident in 2022, Schofield’s health declined, but his dedication never wavered. His story is a reminder of how one person’s care can shape a generation. How have local coaches or mentors made a difference in your life? #Education #K12 #Cleveland

Breakthrough pain relief for Cleveland TN patients

Living with trigeminal neuralgia in Cleveland just got a lot more hopeful. University Hospitals is now the first in the world to use the OneRF Trigeminal Nerve Ablation System, offering a minimally invasive option for those who haven’t found relief with medication. The first two patients experienced immediate pain relief—without complications. This new approach targets multiple pain areas at once, making the procedure quicker and more comfortable. For anyone who’s struggled with daily facial pain, this could be a real game-changer. What do you think about new tech like this transforming local healthcare? #Health #BodyHealth #Cleveland

Cleveland’s transit crisis: Time for a rethink?

Cleveland’s RTA is burning through cash and ridership is at record lows, yet leaders are floating the idea of a new tax hike—right when locals are already furious about property taxes. Most of the transit budget comes from a countywide sales tax, so even folks who never set foot on a bus are footing the bill. With nearly empty buses and a financial cushion set to vanish by 2026, maybe it’s time to ask: Should we redesign the whole system, invest in new tech, or even make rides free? What do you think would actually work for Cleveland? #Transportation #Cleveland #PublicTransit

Cleveland study tackles hidden athlete setback

Athletes in Cleveland are facing a surprising challenge that rarely gets any attention: nail fungus. It turns out, this stubborn infection can mess with training, cause pain, and even derail careers—yet most people only focus on visible injuries. Now, Case Western Reserve and University Hospitals are teaming up for the first major study to figure out just how much this “hidden performance killer” affects athletes across different sports. The research could lead to better prevention and treatment, helping athletes (and maybe even military personnel) stay at the top of their game. Anyone else shocked at how something so small can have such a big impact? #Sports #Cleveland #AthleteHealth

Cleveland kids get winter warmth boost

Nothing says community like seeing more than 100 Cleveland kids head into winter with brand-new coats, thanks to the Dawson Foundation’s annual giveaway. This event, led by Wayne Dawson and his brother Judge William Dawson, focuses on children raised by grandparents—families who often face extra challenges. By teaming up with Fairhill Partners, they’re not just handing out coats; they’re giving kids a sense of belonging and a little extra joy during the holidays. It’s a powerful reminder of how local support can make a real difference. How do you think we can keep this spirit of giving going all year? #Safety #Cleveland #CommunitySupport

Fisher returns to Cleveland after 100+ years

A fisher—a rare, cat-sized mammal related to otters and weasels—has been spotted in Cleveland Metroparks for the first time since the 1800s! This sighting is more than just cool wildlife news; it’s a real sign that local conservation efforts are paying off. Fishers vanished from Ohio long ago due to habitat loss and overhunting, but now they’re making a comeback alongside otters, bobcats, and swans. It’s wild to think these animals are reclaiming their old stomping grounds. How do you feel about sharing our parks with these returning species? #Science #Cleveland #Wildlife

Cleveland’s winter: Frostbite, stress & new health news

Extreme cold is back in Cleveland, and frostbite is a real threat—especially for fingers, toes, noses, and ears. Doctors say if your skin turns red, tingles, or goes numb, it’s time to warm up (gently, with warm water) and stay inside. On top of that, holiday stress is hitting hard. Experts recommend sharing the load, setting boundaries, and making time for yourself to keep your mind healthy. Plus, there’s big news: the FDA just approved a new oral treatment for gonorrhea—the first in decades—right as Ohio faces rising STD rates. How are you handling the cold and holiday chaos? #Health #BodyHealth #Cleveland
