ISSUE 3 PASSED - THANK YOU!
Beachwood High School Building Improvement Project
With an overwhelming 71% majority, the citizens of Beachwood approved Issue 3 on the May 4th primary election ballot to fund the $30 million Beachwood High School Building Improvement Project. This project is about the facility's classroom, technology and energy infrastructure needs, which together comprise nearly three quarters of the proposed budget. The improved Beachwood High School building will soon mirror BHS's award-winning academic curriculum.
