The Building

East's building is part of the education.

The Foundation coordinates the care, preservation, and storytelling of East High School's historic campus — the tower, the auditorium, the halls, and everything hanging on their walls.

A walk through East

One minute inside the building.

The facade, the tower, the auditorium doors, the grand staircase, the stage, and the library mural — the spaces the Foundation helps keep in working order.
