BEACHWOOD, OH - On April 7, eight alumni will be joining the Beachwood High School Gallery of Success in a ceremony at Beachwood High School. A volunteer committee selected this group of former students to form the 11 class of inductees.

The group of alumnus were selected for their post-school success. They will be inducted at 10 a.m. in the new auditorium at the high school. The event is open to the public.

The Gallery of Success started in 1985. With the eight additions, there will now be 129 members in the gallery. The district says alumni are chosen based off of the following criteria: leadership, service, humanitarianism, creativity, courage, and/or career contributions that have benefited others.
