East's Shining Apple

At the end of each school year, eight teachers — one at each of the District's high schools —
are recognized at the Teacher of the Year
Banquet
with a Shining Apple Award.
A senior at each of the high schools selects the teacher who has been the most inspirational to them.
That teacher at East is Daniel Velasco-Perez.

KeyBank Teaching Facility
Opens at East
Shortly before the end of the school year, East High held a ribbon-cutting celebration
for its simulated banking facility. Present were East business students, KeyBank
employees, and members of the school district administration.
The banking center, made possible due to a $500,000 grant from KeyBank, will be part of the
Finance career pathway within the
Academy
of Business and Health Services at the school.
The mock banking facility will be used to teach financial literacy, help students learn the
basics of money management, and help classmates open and manage their own bank accounts.

development, and ways to attract and retain young people in our city. Members will learn
more about how city government works, how to qualify for a MYLC high school internship, and develop
leadership skills that will set them up for success in college, career, and life."
