ALL WE DO IS WIN, WIN, WIN + NEXT WEEK'S SCHEDULE + 2021 TOP 7

Inspire. Challenge. Equip.

ALL WE DO IS WIN, WIN, WIN NO MATTER WHAT!

Recently, at East T-STEM, we've started to smile a little wider, walk a little taller, and welcome a little more joy into our hearts. While some of this happiness is related to getting back to normal, so much more of it comes from being a part of the best high school in Memphis where WINNING is a part of #themustangway.

SHE'S A RUNNER, SHE'S A TRACK STAR!

TRACK & FIELD: In the West Tennessee Sectionals, Alyssa Raymond (r) brought home GOLD in the long jump, while Briah Hampton (l) earned the SILVER medal for the high jump. These ladies will compete in Murfreesboro next week!

YOUNG AND HUNGRY!

BOYS SOCCER: First year coach, Mr. Allen and Assistant Coach Ms. Alley, really didn't know what this soccer season would hold for them. Then their boys got the hot hand, or the hot foot. In less than 2 weeks, this young team defeated Crosstown, Fairley, Raleigh-Egypt, and Union City. Now these REGIONAL CHAMPS are on their way to Murfreesboro to take on Gatlinburg-Pittman High School on Tuesday, May 25th.

SERVING W/A SMILE!

GIRLS TENNIS: Margo Burbank (l) and Sydney Charles (c) are friends who do so much together including becoming the DISTRICT DOUBLES CHAMPIONS. Lia Leven (r), who will soon be a Howard University Bison, can hang her medal for DISTRICT SINGLES RUNNER-UP in her D.C. dorm room in the fall.
