Programs
Preserving East High's history through projects and programs.
The History and Historic Preservation Committee safeguards East High School's rich heritage by curating exhibits, preserving architectural elements, maintaining records, and hosting educational programs and tours for students, alumni, and the community.
Artifacts in place
Some of East's history has never left the building.
Alongside the Tower History Museum's collection, original fixtures like the gymnasium's wooden EAST and VISITORS scoreboard remain where generations of Angels first saw them. Documenting and protecting these in-place artifacts is part of the committee's historic preservation review.
