Under the supervision of assistant principal, Ms. Brandi Davis, the East High Class of 2009 held its first activity of the school year — a car wash on August 16 at Dave's Supermarket. Proceeds from the event will help pay for senior class expenses during the school year.

The OMNOVA Solutions Foundation has awarded East High a grant in the amount of $6,040 to enable the school to take part in the Let Me Learn program.

Let Me Learn will provide training for up to 15 ninth-grade teachers to better understand how students learn and process new information. The same type of training will be offered to 400 ninth-grade students.

The goal of this effort is to keep students in school, raise Ohio Graduation Test scores, and improve attendance.
