***Important Graduate Information – Senior Owes***
Many seniors owe items and/or money before their accounts are settled in order to receive their diploma. These “Senior Owes” include books or textbooks that have not been turned in, technology fees related to chromebooks or chargers, athletic fees for unreturned jerseys or travel fees, and cafeteria fees for accounts that have accumulated charges. Graduates will NOT receive their diploma until all fees are paid. Payments will be accepted during normal school hours this week (8:00am-3:00pm). Cash, checks, or card are all acceptable forms of payment.

| This week’s #EagleOfTheWeek is no contest – it’s the #ClassOf2026! This class has made our school proud in so many ways over the last four years – academically, athletically, and personally. We cannot wait to see where their “next” takes them! Eagle graduates, we wish you all the best! And remember–Once an Eagle, Always an Eagle! Vamos Aguilas and Go Eagles! |
Last Week in Eagle Country

| On Monday, May 18th, seniors who qualified for the ACT/Workkeys Incentive Trip made their way to Dollywood for a day of fun! These students got to spend the day at the park free of charge since they earned a 19 or higher on their ACT their junior year and/or a Silver or higher on their Workkeys test their senior year. We are so appreciative of the hard work of these students and hope they had a blast celebrating their accomplishments! | |

| On Friday morning, we held our Senior Awards ceremony to kick off graduation day. Countless senior Eagles were recognized for being part of honor societies, earning special honor cords, being awarded scholarships, being recognized for athletics, and much more. We are proud of these Eagles for their contributions to East High. | |

| It was a rainy graduation night, which meant we celebrated our Eagle graduates indoors for the first time in 13 years! It was a beautiful ceremony honoring our graduates, and we are so proud of each of their accomplishments! We wish the Class of 2026 all the best! Check out some fantastic photos from the Asheville Citizen Times photographer Colby Rabon here: bit.ly/4dHSrsA. East will also be sharing photos from Douglas Hargrove from both the portrait session before Senior Awards and during the graduation ceremony soon. | |
