The Garfield Heights High School Bulldogs are guided to be socially and emotionally aware leaders equipped with real-world skills and career-prepared. Students can participate in athletics, including cross country, football, soccer, golf, volleyball, basketball, bowling, hockey, wrestling, baseball, softball, tennis and track. Other activities include academic challenge, anime club, band, theater, Students of Promise, Key Club and student government.
Garfield Heights students are recognized beyond the school walls for their achievements, like being featured in the Youth Art Gallery at Cleveland International Airport. Several academic opportunities are available to Bulldogs, including 22 honors courses and four Advanced Placement courses. GHHS students can take advantage of College Credit Plus, which enables dual enrollment in college-level classes for credit at the high school and college levels.
Many students enroll in career and technical training at Cuyahoga Valley Career Center. These students complete their high school education while gaining specialized knowledge and experience in one of 29 different programs. GHHS Seniors in good academic standing can opt to participate in the Senior Project, where they engage in 25 hours of on-site community service or job shadowing and present their experience to their peers.

Garfield Heights High School was good overall. Something's that I would say need to be improved on is student morale. Since half the time, students already don't want to be there, giving them things to do, so one attendance is good and two so they don't resort to making something to do for themselves like fighting.

I would say this school district changed my perspective on schools they really challenged my to be the best version of myself and to boost my integrity!

My experience at Garfield Heights High School was an overall average experience for a high school student. I feel that there should be more student events and more clubs to get students more involved.
