Gabe Headrick Memorial Scholarship Fund
The Cleveland Band community is honored to continue upholding the legacy of Gabe Headrick — beloved husband, father, and community member — through the Gabe Headrick Memorial Scholarship. Gabe’s love for his wife, Sally, and his son, Cooper, was at the center of everything he did, and his passion for music and the Cleveland Band community left a lasting impact on all who knew him. Whether through his musicianship, his encouragement of young artists, or his deep appreciation for the program that helped shape his son’s journey, Gabe believed in the power of music to connect and inspire.
Established in his honor, this scholarship recognizes graduating seniors who demonstrate both leadership and a genuine enthusiasm for music. It is a meaningful way to support students as they continue their musical pursuits beyond high school — just as Gabe supported the community that meant so much to his family. If the Cleveland Band Community has made an impact on you or a member of your family we hope that you consider making a donation to this fund to support our student leaders.

Volunteer Background Checks
Planning to volunteer with our band program? If you might have unsupervised contact with students (including as a field trip chaperone), PPS requires volunteers to complete a background check at https://www.pps.net/volunteer.
This quick process only needs to be completed once every three years and you may have already completed it if you have volunteered elsewhere in Portland Public Schools.
