From now until Homecoming, we’ll be honoring our incredible history and supporting East’s bright future—and we want you to be a part of it! To kick off the 150th celebration, we’ve created a dedicated website where you can find all the details about our upcoming activities.

A huge thank you to our 150th Celebration Chairs, Matthew Fulford (Teacher) and Marcia Goldstein (Class of 1969), and to the entire committee for their dedication in making this celebration possible.

Upcoming Parent Webinar:
Practical Tools for Reducing Anxiety and Building Resilience in Young People

Join us for an informative webinar designed for parents, families and other trusted adults  where you will learn practical tools to help young people reduce anxiety, strengthen resilience, and enhance overall well-being.

Over the past nine years, she has successfully grown Upstream, positively impacting more than 50,000 students across Colorado and nine other states.

Tessa will share her personal story of overcoming anxiety and provide concrete strategies that you can implement with your own children to help them cope with anxiety and build resilience. Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights and tools to support your child's mental health!
