Performances are Friday, November 14 and Saturday, November 15 at 7pm in SHS's Main Auditorium. Tickets can be purchased with cash at the door or online HERE.

Thank you to everyone who attended last night’s ‘Greet & Treat’ event at Strongsville High School. The rain did not dampen the spirits of little ghouls and goblins! And thank you to the more than 50 tables of schools, clubs, and organizations who handed out a ton of candy! We appreciate the generosity of our Strongsville community - our Transportation Department delivered more than $1,200 worth of food to the Strongsville Food Bank collected at last night’s event. Special thanks to members of the Strongsville Boys Soccer team who volunteered “on the spot” and helped load the boxes of food into the bus that made the delivery to the Food Bank.
