Project Graduation is an overnight lock-in open to all graduating seniors from EJHS, WJHS, and TPS that provides a fun-filled graduation celebration in a safe, drug and alcohol-free environment. Our goal is to make this a free event for all graduates, with lots of food, activities and prizes. This is completely funded by donations from the community. That’s why we are asking for parent volunteers now to help with planning this event and fundraising for this year’s seniors, the class of 2027! Families of freshmen, sophomores and juniors are encouraged as well, not just our senior parents. Please consider joining the Project Grad Planning Committee at 5:30pm in the WJHS library on Tuesday, October 20, 2026. Thanks for your support!
Accountability data shows we are moving in the right direction, but test scores only capture a small snapshot of what makes East so special. While we are proud of the real progress our Jaguars showed in academics, readiness, and school safety, the true heart of East High lives in everything our students do every day—in the classroom, in the arts, in athletics, in leadership, and in how we support one another as a school family. We know our work is never finished, but every single day we keep building, growing, and striving for excellence. Thank you to our students, staff, and families for making East High so much more than a test score! 💙
