Introducing the East High School Foundation
In 2023, the East High School Foundation was officially established as an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Our goal is to strengthen the East High experience by supporting academics, arts, athletics and extracurricular activities. We’ve launched this website and a public relations campaign to increase awareness of our work and strengthen connections with the East High community—including alumni.
Our Mission Statement: The East High School Foundation seeks to build excellence in academics, arts, athletics, and extracurricular opportunities to enhance our students’ overall educational experiences and benefit the entire East High School Community.
Accomplishments: Though our foundation is still in its early stages, we’ve already made a meaningful impact thanks to the generosity of our donors:
Choral Department: We purchased five acoustic sound shells for the choir program, highlighting our talented choirs and continuing East’s strong choral tradition.
Drum Line: We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve partnered with Parents Investing in Education (PIE) to provide the necessary equipment to launch a drum line at East High! Thanks to the dedication of Anthony Huntington, the orchestra and band teacher, a dedicated drum line class period has been approved—and over 60 students have already requested the class.
Math Classes: We funded wipe books for math boards, helping teachers engage students and improve lesson retention.
eSports Program: We supported the eSports club by outfitting their gaming room—giving students who aren’t typically involved in extracurriculars a place to connect and thrive.
Athletics: We purchased a new pitching machine for the baseball team after their previous one was damaged by flooding.
Please Join Us: We are thrilled to announce a major fundraising event in partnership with the school administration, Student Government, and PTSA to take place in the 2025-2026 school year. We can’t wait to share more information and for you to join us!
Donations: We would be incredibly grateful if you would consider supporting the East High School Foundation with a donation. Your contribution—big or small—makes a lasting difference for the students and future of East High.
