    Eastern Junior/Senior High School Reviews

    There are many different people. Most students always get along with at least one or two teachers as well. Most of the staff are quite nice and friendly. The school always has an officer on school grounds, so the students are safe. The food is not the greatest. There are many different meals served though. The school is not to big, so it is quite easy to get to classes in the five minute break. The guidance counselor is very good. Unlike other school counselors, she finds and creates scholarship lists every month for the seniors, and passes them out while explaining them to the students. There are also foreign exchange students, so every student has an opportunity to meet someone from a new place. The school also offers trips over spring break every year to somewhere outside the United States. The trips are very educational and safe. Parents can also jump in on the opportunity and go with their student to the other country.

    A great school full of college ready, eager learning students! The staff is very helpful and wanting the best for you child. Food and facilities could be updated and I know they are working on making that happen. What an honor it is to be a Comet.
    At Eastern I have been given the opportunity to grow as a person. I have seen who I have really become throughout my years of attending Eastern. I am very happy about the person I am today and I thank Eastern for helping me shape into that person. My teachers have always been there to help push me when things get difficult. They remind me that I am smart and strong enough to get through whatever obstacle I am facing. The academics here at Eastern sure have challenged me, but the challenge is exactly what I need to improve myself. At Eastern I am free to express myself and be who I really want to be. The only thing I would want to change about my school is our lack of diversity. Most people at my school are of one race. I think it is important to have diversity and to welcome minorities. Diversity is what our world so unique. It unites us and creates us into one. This is exactly what Eastern needs more of.
