Congratulations to Eric Arnold, East Math Teacher for receiving Edgewood College's 2023 Promise Award! Each fall, Edgewood College partners with the Board of Trustees and the Office for Institutional Advancement to recognize extraordinary alumni.

Last spring, East Assistant Principal, Patrice Hutchins, was selected as the recipient of the 2023 UW-Madison Sandra Rosenbaum School of Social Work - Social Justice Award. This fall, Ms. Hutchins was recognized at the UW School of Social Work Fall Agency Supervisors Conference. There was so much said about Ms. Hutchins and the amazing work she does. Our favorite part was, "At the heart of this nomination for Patrice Hutchins, is love. She places love at the center. In very unique, pragmatic, and giving ways, Patrice humanizes young people and educators by seeing them, believing in them, and rigorously and effectively advocating for just and equitable experiences across our school communities." Ms. Hutchins is a proud East alumni and has worked in MMSD for over 10 years! Congratulations Ms. Hutchins. We are so lucky to have you and appreciate all you do for our East community.
