The Alumni Association Needs You
As part of the 20,500 East High Alumni we need you help to: "REKINDLE THE SPIRIT" and
"PROMOTE THE PRIDE" that we have always had at East High. Recently East High was slated to
be closed by the Akron Board of Education. Through the efforts of EHS Alumni, students and
community leaders the decision was reversed and our school was saved.
It is our belief that as a result of the political processes involved in raising funds for
public schools,and state mandated expenditures, funds for local schools will never be
adequate to provide the many significant educational opportunities otherwise available. The
Association has provided support and financial assistance for: Academic Scholarships,
Basketball Teams,Softball Team,Bowling Club,Football Team,Vocational Ed.,Cheerleaders, Cross
Country Teams.
Current funding is a result of Individual Gifts, Continuing Alumni Scholarships, Raffles,
Memorial Endowments etc.
Last year(2005) $42,000 dollars was made available through scholarships to the students at
East High. If you have ever thought about a memorial for a loved one, the Association is a
non-profit 501 (c)- 3 organization, registered in Ohio and the IRS. For info or answers,
on Endowments and Memorials, call C. Berry @ 330 634 0418.
