Superintendent's Series
The 2025-2026 Superintendent’s Series invites families, staff and community members to engage in timely conversations about the ideas and initiatives shaping Shaker Heights Schools.
This four-part series explores how our District advances learning, innovation and Inclusive Excellence through thoughtful discussion and shared understanding.
Each session highlights an important topic impacting our schools, from generative artificial intelligence and inclusive practices to the International Baccalaureate Programme and detracking. Together, these conversations offer insight into how we support the whole child and strengthen our school community.
All Superintendent’s Series sessions are free and open to the public. Events take place from 6–7 p.m. and do not require registration. While sessions are not livestreamed, recordings will be posted on this page following each event.
