Empowering innovation and enriching education.
At East High, we believe that great ideas deserve support. The Faculty & Staff Grants Committee — a dedicated team of volunteer parents and community members — annually reviews applications to fund innovative projects that inspire and elevate student learning.
The East Angel Foundation awards grants to bring creative or impactful projects that enhance learning experiences to life, made possible by the generosity of families, alumni, and the greater East High community. In the 2025-26 school year, EAF proudly approved 35 grants, impacting over 5,000 East Angels in academic, artistic, and extracurricular programs.
