Dear Brush Families and Friends,

 Welcome to the Charles F. Brush High School link of the SE-L web page.  Brush High School is a superb school to attend. The school consists of a wonderful student body and faculty, while being supported by an involved community.  Brush High School was founded in 1927, and has continued to do an excellent job guiding, supporting and educating the students of the South Euclid and Lyndhurst communities.

BRUSH HIGH is long hailed for its contemporary approach to education. A 4-year, comprehensive, North Central Association (NCA) accredited high school, Brush has a growing diverse enrollment of 1,716 students. A broad program of studies reflects the needs of students, including advanced placement, alternative school programs, transitional programs, plus opportunities for weekly mentorships and month-long Senior Projects with adult supervisors. Technical education is offered in more than a dozen areas, including “tech-prep” courses that after high school transition to pre-establish advanced study.

THE SCHOOL DISTRICT serves the communities of South Euclid, Lyndhurst and a portion of Richmond Heights. It is located eleven miles east of Cleveland, Ohio.  Well known for its family values and immaculate neighborhoods, the well-established communities that comprise the SEL School District equally support and promote education, athletics and the arts.  This calm community consists of approximately 50,000 people who represent the true make-up of America.  About half of the parents within the district are college-educated and hold professional or managerial positions.

THE BRUSH FACULTY is a diverse, dedicated and talented group of educators who are actively involved in teaching and participating in a variety of workshops and college courses in addition to their high school classes. Faculty members welcome new innovative ideas, strategies and techniques to their classroom.  They promote learning by supporting and collaborating with teacher-interns and student teachers, and often team with colleagues to provide integrated curriculum for students. The South Euclid-Lyndhurst School district has been named a Teacher Education Center by Cleveland State University and pioneered the Teacher Intern Program with John Carroll University. The faculty consists of 105 certified professionals, 61% of who hold advanced degrees. The average teaching experience is 10 years.
