We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I attended East High School for all four years—even though, at first, I wasn't even supposed to be there. I got in by mistake, but looking back, I can confidently say it was the best mistake of my life. East helped me embrace who I am and sparked my passion to make a difference in the world. While others may look down on our school, they'll never understand the spirit that makes East feel like home. The bonds, the love, the connections—they're unforgettable. Once a Tiger, always a Tiger.
