The boys basketball team have a schedule unlike ANY team in Memphis!

Here they are in Chattanooga at the McCallie Dr. Pepper Classic. They even took time to do community service while they were there! Thanks, Coach Holmes!

What are the Milken Educator Awards?

Film has the Oscar™, music has the Grammy™, science has the Nobel Prize and sports has its Olympic Gold, but what about the unsung heroes on the frontlines shaping our future? Where is the recognition for our nation’s educators?

THE MILKEN AWARDS!!!

Did you know that East is one of a few schools in Memphis to have a recipient of the HIGHEST award given to an educator?

Meah King won the award in 2011.

Thank you, Supt Ray, for acknowledging the Milken Recipients in SCS at the State of the District Address.

Thank you to all of our Honorees and Parents for coming to the

Second Quarter Honors Program!

Thanks, Mr. Hewitt and Ms. Pirtle,

for planning our program!

Our School Board member, Rev Dr. Al Greene has done so much for our community AND for East HS.

We love her and showed our love on Thursday!

Mustang Dottie Ferreira

is Headed to

Accra, Ghana!

Each spring, a group of Memphis in May exchange students travels to Memphis in May's honored country for 10-12 days - enough time to give students a true taste of the country without interfering with their school year. All students stay with selected host families in the host country, attend classes at a host high school, visit famous monuments and landmarks, and experience a different culture first-hand.

ONLY 12 students were selected for 2020...

Mustang Dottie Ferreira is one of the

12 from Memphis!
