EAST SIDE HIGH
SCHOOL
East Side High School, home of the Trojans,
enrolls students in grades 9 through 12. ESHS, in
its quest for excellence in education, has applied
to join the International Baccalaureate
Organization Middle Years Program. This program
is offered to students in grades 9 and
10 as an extension of the Middle Years curriculum
offered at the middle school level. This
prestigious program will increase the
participating students’ ability to think
critically, increase cultural awareness, and
afford students the tools they need to compete in
a global society. |
The Title I School Wide Project supports the addition
of class size reduction teachers, a counselor assistant
and a variety of additional opportunities needed for the
staff to raise the bar of academic achievement.
Art classes expand the students’ horizons and extend the
opportunity to “show off” their masterpiece in the
community.

The W.C. Robinson Achievement Center offers an
alternative to conventional education for students
in grades 5-8 who are two or more years behind in
their regular class work. Sometimes, a
student’s education is interrupted by problems
that are within their control or maybe even
outside their control, which affects their
achievement. These students often benefit
from a change in their school environment.
Smaller classes and more individualized
instruction allow the students to learn at their
own pace and take responsibility for their
education.
Extracurricular activities encourage the
students to utilize their special talents. ESHS is
known statewide for its high caliber athletics.
The State Championship level football and
basketball teams are now legendary. The baseball,
tennis, track, golf, and softball teams also meet
high standards. The Trojan Marching 100 Band is a
force in its own right. Many fans attend sporting
events strictly to watch the Band’s show. Service
clubs such as the National Honor Society and the
Student Council involve students in their
community, preparing them for the future. |

Parents and community members are invaluable
resources for the school. School spirit is high,
even among graduates who live out of state. These
alumni continue to support their Alma Mater and still
proudly call themselves Trojans. The PTSA, Band
and Athletic Boosters demonstrate their true Trojan
spirit. |
