Grammy Award-winning artist Anthony “Krayzie Bone” Henderson and his nonprofit, Spread the Love Foundation (STLF), partnered with students at Euclid High School to share real-world business, marketing, and music experiences that could help students in their future careers.

The program kicked off on Thursday, March 7, 2025, from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Euclid High School, 711 E. 222nd Street, Euclid, OH 44123. The event included a tour of the school’s facilities, a visit to the Media Center, lunch at the newly created Bristol, and a brief introduction for students interested in joining the program. Krayzie Bone was present to engage with students and launch the initiative.

What Students Are Learning

STLF members will work with students through mid-May, providing hands-on experience in:

  • Designing marketing materials
  • Creating and managing social media posts
  • Editing and producing video clips
  • Helping with sales and merchandise
  • Working with music engineers and producers

Some students will also be able to volunteer at STLF events over the summer.

Why This Partnership Matters

“We are excited to work with Euclid High School’s CTE Program. Collaborating with Spread the Love Foundation can help students build real-world skills and prepare for successful futures. 

Career and technical education is important, and we are proud to be part of shaping the next generation,” said D. Lorand Jackson, Vice President and COO of Spread the Love Foundation

Students in the CTE Entrepreneurship & Marketing program look forward to the experience. “This partnership will give our students hands-on experience in marketing, branding, and business while also helping Spread the Love reach more people,” said Kayla Lupean, CTE Entrepreneurship & Marketing Instructor at Euclid High School.
