Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:For Шаблон:Infobox school Glenville High School is a public high school in the Glenville area on the East Side of Cleveland, Ohio. The school is part of the Cleveland Metropolitan School District. The school originally resided at the former Oliver Wendell Holmes school (then The Doan Building) which formerly sat on the northeast corner of E. 105th and St. Clair then later moved to Parkwood and Everton in October 1904 as population grew.[1] The current building was built in 1964 and is located at E. 113th and St. Clair.

Community

The Village of Glenville was incorporated in 1870, and was annexed by the City of Cleveland in 1904. Glenville was known for its farmlands, glens of trees and summer leisuring for the wealthy during its early years.[2] Having been initially settled by northern European immigrants, by the end of the World War I, the demographic began to shift with an influx of Jews. By the Great Depression, the Glenville neighborhood had become the epicenter of Cleveland's Jewish population, with the high school reflecting the change.[3] Glenville's population remained in flux, with the demographic changing considerably since World War II. By the 1950s, the neighborhood was predominantly African-American, with the school's enrollment reflecting the shift accordingly.[3]

Superman

Jerry Siegel (October 17, 1914 – January 28, 1996) and Joe Shuster (July 10, 1914 - July 30, 1992), co-creators of the DC Comics character Superman, both attended Glenville, with Siegel working for the weekly student newspaper, The Torch in which he published the Tarzan parody, Goober the Mighty. Siegel and Shuster together also published what may have been the first SF fanzine, Cosmic Stories. Superman has since gone on to become one of the most recognized fictional characters of modern times.

Athletics

The school's athletic teams are called the Tarblooders. The school is most notable for its football team and track teams, both coached by Ted Ginn Sr. During the 2006 college football season, Glenville had seven of its graduates on the Ohio State Buckeyes football roster alone. Several of those players were also members of the track and field team, which won five consecutive Ohio High School State Championships.[4]

In November 2009, Glenville's football team beat regional powerhouse Massillon to become the first Cleveland Public school to advance to the State Final in OHSAA Playoff history.

In 2022, Glenville won their first OHSAA football state championship in Division 4, becoming the first Cleveland Public school to win a state championship. [5]
