Mission
Max S. Hayes is a career and technical
high school that trains students for
employment in multiple industries.
Through partnerships with a range of
local businesses and nonprofit agencies,
we extend our students’ learning
opportunities far beyond the traditional
classroom experience.
Our campus offers extracurriculars
including clubs and JV and Varsity
athletics with the Lakers.
We’re proud to be part of the first
group of Cleveland schools to offer Say
Yes support services.
Special Programs
Hands-on experience & credentials in high-tech,
high-demand industries.
Our students have the opportunity to earn credentials in a range of high-tech
industries, with extensive learning experiences outside the classroom.
Alongside their core classes, our students explore career pathways including
Manufacturing, Engineering, Design, Construction Technologies, and Automotive
Technologies. Our students connect school learning to workplace experience
through job shadowing and internships.
Students can earn college credit for free while attending high school, and gain
industry certifications from partners such as the National Institute of Metalworking
Skills, the American Welding Society and the National Institute for Automotive
Service Excellence.
