Theodore Ginn Sr. — Successful strategies for academic achievement and community impact in urban districts
Theodore Ginn Sr. is the founder and executive director of Cleveland Municipal’s Ginn Academy, established in fall 2007. The academy, which has an average graduation rate of 95%, is the first, all-male, public high school in the city of Cleveland and state of Ohio. The Ginn Academy, now in its 14th year, is guided by scholarship, leadership and service. Ginn also is the head football coach and boys’ track coach for Glenville High School and has produced NFL players such as Cardale Jones, Frank Clark, Donte Whitner and his own son, Ted Ginn Jr. A firm believer in helping students and adults reach their full potential in life, Ginn uses athletics to help students attain these goals. He will tell anyone that his program is neither about track nor football. “It’s about saving lives and saving souls,” he says. “Football and track are just the vehicles we use to ride in.” He strives daily to make a difference in the lives of young people and to cultivate leaders and citizens who reach back and give back to their community.
