Congratulations to these JAGS!!! Headed to All State Auditions in October!

We are so grateful for the incredible teachers who make East High such a special place! Today, we’re excited to shine the spotlight on Ms. Terry! 💙💚

Being community minded means looking beyond ourselves. It’s noticing when someone needs a little extra kindness, lending a helping hand, and doing our part to make East a place where everyone feels seen, valued, and included.

Good luck to our band as they compete this weekend! Bring home some hardware!

Busy doesn’t even begin to describe it! Our custodial team has been working nonstop, from setting up for volleyball and cleaning up after football to preparing for iReady testing and getting everything ready for our College & Career Fair. And somehow, through it all, East High continues to look amazing for our students and staff! We are so grateful for the hard work, dedication, and behind-the-scenes magic our custodians bring every single day. East High custodians ROCK!

Our bus drivers play an important role in keeping our Jaguars safe each day. From the moment students step onto the bus until they arrive safely at school and back home, our drivers are responsible for so much more than getting students from one place to another. Their care, attention, and commitment help make safe transportation possible for our students and families. During Kentucky Safe Schools Week, we are proud to recognize our bus drivers and thank them for the important role they play in keeping our school community safe. Together, we will continue to look out for our Jaguars!

This week is Kentucky Safe Schools Week, a time to raise awareness about the many aspects of school safety and to empower students, teachers, parents, and community members to take proactive steps in creating a safe, supportive learning environment for all. Today, we'd like to highlight and recognize our SRO, Officer Horton, for his dedication to keeping our school and Jaguar community safe every day!

Tomorrow night is senior night! Come out and join us!

It’s Kentucky Safe Schools Week, and today we’re shining a spotlight on two of the people who help keep our school safe every single day. Ms. Fugate and Ms. Turner are part of our front office team and serve as important gatekeepers for East High. From welcoming students and families to keeping a watchful eye on who enters our building, they help create a safe, secure, and welcoming environment for everyone.Thank you, Ms. Fugate and Ms. Turner, for helping us keep our Jaguars safe!

Twenty-five years later, we remember. We honor the lives lost, the heroes who ran toward danger, the families forever changed, and the courage and unity that followed. Today, we pause to remember. We reflect. We honor. We will never forget.
