Cleveland Hill School District is a K-12 school district within the Cleveland Hill hamlet of Cheektowaga, New York.

Fire of 1954

In 1954, a fire at the elementary school facility claimed the lives of 15 sixth-grade students, and severely burned Jackson C. Frank. The facility was made entirely of wood, prompting the United States to introduce code that prohibited wooden buildings from housing schools.[1]
