Glenville High School is a public high school in the Glenville neighborhood on the East Side of Cleveland, Ohio. The schools athletic teams are called The Tarblooders. The school's original campus, founded in 1919, was located at Everton and Parkwood. Its current campus, which opened in 1966, is located at E. 113th and E. St. Clair.) The demographic of the high school, as well as the Glenville neighborhood on a whole, has changed considerably since WWII. Until the 1940's Glenville was predominantly Jewish. Since then, however, there has been a shift and today Glenville is predominantly African-American. The school has a distinguished list of culturally significant alumni from decades gone by, and it has remained in the spotlight more recently as a producer of athletic talent, particularly its football team, coached by Ted Ginn, Sr.
