Workkeys Testing is THIS WEEK – November 20th
 |
 |
| Workkeys Testing is Thursday, November 20th for all Class of 2026 senior CTE concentrators. Students received an email last week confirming their participation in the test, and an informational meeting was held on Friday, November 7th during Smart Period to give testers all of the details they need. Many seniors taking the test have been in Workkeys prep classes during Smart Period all semester in preparation for the test. This is the final way for seniors to earn the ACT/Workkeys Incentive Trip to Carowinds this spring. Any senior with a 19 or higher on their ACT from their junior year or a silver or higher on their Workkeys will be eligible to attend this trip. We look forward to fantastic results from all the hard work from our CTE concentrators! If you have any questions regarding Workkeys, please email Mrs. Lord. | |

The Boys & Girls Club of Henderson County will be closed on Tuesday, November 18th. They will reopen on Wednesday, November 19th.
Thank You to our Substitute Teachers!

Friday, November 21st is National Substitute Teacher’s Day! We are so fortunate to have a group of dedicated substitute teachers who serve our school regularly as substitute teachers. While there is no substitute for the classroom teacher, these educators do a fantastic job of holding down the fort when a situation calls for it. Their adaptability, love for students, and willingness to be excellent team players is appreciated every day of the year! Thank you, substitutes!East High would especially like to thank our substitute teacher “regulars:”

| The Teaching as a Profession (TaaP) students attended the Aspire to Inspire Conference at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, North Carolina on Wednesday, along with other students in the same program across the region. Students enjoyed an inspirational keynote speaker, sessions from seasoned educators and administrators, and got to meet with professors across departments as well as dine in the university dining hall. We are proud of our future educators! | |

| On Friday, chorus students made a trip down to the Peace Center to attend an event they have worked hard fundraising for. There, students were able to participate in a pre-show workshop with voice professionals and then got to enjoy The Sound of Music as guests. The students and chaperones had a great time, and our students received a very special gift in being able to attend. | |
