While Greater Cleveland continues to swelter, some Cuyahoga County students headed back to school this week.

Cleveland Metropolitan School District’s six year-round schools–Cleveland High School for Digital Arts, Davis Aerospace & Maritime High School, John Adams College and Career Academy, Lincoln-West School of Global Studies, Lincoln-West School of Science and Health and MC2²STEM–opened classrooms on July 29. These students will have a week-long break in October.
