A successful team from the suburbs of Cleveland.

The Garfield Heights High School Academic Team was founded in 1986 by then-chemistry teacher Betty Hofman, who coached the team until her 1999 retirement. Garfield Heights made the OAC State Finals three times during her tenure, losing to Beavercreek, [[Copley]], and St. Xavier respectively.

In 1999, former captain Michael Bindis took over, after replacing Hofman in the chemistry department as well. He coached the team for two relatively successful seasons.

In fall 2002, recently-graduated team captain [[Bob Kilner]] took over as coach. After a moderately-successful first few seasons, Garfield Heights won the Solon Comet Classic title in 2005, defeating a 2-man squad from [[Shadyside]] consisting of [[Andy Watkins]] and Grant May. The team would go on to win their first OAC Regional title since 1990, though they would lose in the then-double-elimination format state tournament. Later that year, Garfield Heights would finish 2nd at the NAQT Large-school state tournament, losing to a [[Noah Rahman]]-led [[Solon]] team, who they had been 6-0 against going into the match.

In 2006, returning only junior Jim Hrdlicka, Garfield Heights won several tournaments, including their first state title at the NAQT Division I State Tournament. They would fall one tossup short of qualifying for the OAC State Tournament, and performed poorly at HSNCT. With a young team returning for the 2006-2007 season, led by [[Dan Humphrey]] and [[Joe Wells]], the team finished 4th in the NAQT State Tournament before upsetting the defending state champion [[Fisher Catholic]] in the OAC State Finals. In 2008, they repeated as OAC State Champions and picked up their 2nd NAQT State Championship, defeating Solon in both finals. At the conclusion of the 2007-2008 season, coach Bob Kilner resigned to work on graduate school and coaching youth sports.

2008-2009 sees former player and assistant coach Helen Lindsay take over the team. Thus far, the team has recorded an uninspiring 4-10 record.

-Currently, the team is rebuilding under Coach Jeff Cunningham, who took over in 2010.
+The 2014/15 GHHS Academic Team is a total overhaul from the previous year. New coach, Mathew Barker, took over the team in August and had only one returning player, Branden Kraus. Consisting of 19 competitors (2 freshman, 2 juniors, 1 senior, and 14 sophomores) the Garfield Heights Academic Team has a bright future ahead. After a rocky start to the season, the A-Team settled in and had respectable showings at both the NEOAL league meet at Baldwin Wallace and the Cloverleaf Invitational. The Bulldogs also garnered a spot in the OAC Regional competition with a 7-0 performance at the Copley Invitational.
