    I've been attending Eastern High School since 7th grade, I'm currently in 11th. My teachers are amazing. My favorite thing about Eastern are the students, we're pretty much a big family. We support each other in everything whether if its academically or sports.

    I love this school so much, the community was so brought together in the old building. I know they recently moved buildings and many of the kids miss the old school, I'm glad they can all bond over this. Having International Baccalaureate classes prepared me so much for college, and most of the teachers are amazing. A very diverse school with many opportunities for kids.
    With a heart of a senior I can truly say Eastern High is an incredible school. The teachers and faculty are relentless at making sure students are where they are suppose to be and on time to class. One special factor that is noticeable about Eastern is its diversity. I have never attended a school with such a wide gamut of cultures, religion, and languages. But that's Eastern's diversity, the students are on
    another dimension of astoundingness. I love their passion for learning and even more their willingness to helping others (especially students that are bilingual and are still in the progress of learning and comprehending English). Chiefly and above all, the most tender quality of Eastern High School to me, is its unique environment altogether. From its teachers to students; its faculty to administrators, its library and cafeteria. Eastern is a welcoming community I'm not sure I'll ever forget.
