Chagrin Falls High School

Art in action at the Natural History Museum!

Students from Jill Eisert’s art classes took their sketchbooks to the museum for a day of live observation and sketching. Surrounded by inspiring exhibits, they captured details and refined their artistic techniques in a real world setting.

The highlight of the visit was meeting renowned artist Derek Hess and exploring his exhibition. Hearing about his creative process gave students valuable insight into the work behind professional art.

Experiences like this connect classroom learning to the broader creative community and challenge students to grow as artists.

Art students explore the natural history museum with their sketchbooks.

Last week, the CFHS History of Cleveland class welcomed renowned chef and entrepreneur Doug Katz for a special guest talk.

Katz, owner and founder of Zhug, Amba, Kiln, and Provenance at the Cleveland Museum of Art AND a James Beard Award semifinalist shared his journey and reflected on how local restaurants help shape the identity and culture of a city. It is a powerful example of how today’s leaders continue to define Cleveland’s story.

Thanks for coming to visit!

Doug Katz speaks to the History of Cleveland class at CFHS.

Shhh... science in progress! 🤫💤

Our biology students are getting up close and personal with some very sleepy Drosophila melanogaster (fruit flies). Why the nap time? It’s much easier to observe genetics when your subjects aren't flying around the room!

Students are sorting the flies and then using microscopes to identify dominant versus recessive traits (like classic red eyes vs. white mutations). It’s hands-on investigation that brings the Ohio biology standards right off the page and into the lab. Great job by our budding geneticists! 🧬🔬

HS Science Teachers as minion characters

Buoyancy, Balance, and a Bit of Chagrin Innovation! 🌊⚙️

Mrs. Anderson challenged her 9th grade physical science students to achieve neutral buoyancy with custom, 3D-printed scuba divers. 💧Mr. Volk printed each diver in the Innovation Center with a unique weight distribution, so no two were alike. Using hot glue and their knowledge of forces, students experimented with items like beads, hardware, popsicle sticks, and balloons to adjust the net force and achieve neutral buoyancy.

To kick off the lesson, Dr. Penczarski, a certified scuba diver with more than 500 dives, shared insights about buoyancy and equilibrium from her underwater experiences. How do you float above a reef without touching it?

Thoughtful teaching and curious minds came together in this lesson, a reminder that learning can be both meaningful and authentic.

Throwback Thursday! 🏓
Back to gym class in 1993, do you remember breaking out the paddles for a game of pickleball in Mr. Wem’s class?

Who would have guessed gym class in Chagrin Falls would be so far ahead of its time!
