The Tipping the Scales Law group visited with Rep. Jimmy Anderson to learn about how he uses his law degree as a member of the WI Assembly. Students learned about current issues before the WI assembly and about Rep Anderson’s path to political office. 

Tipping the Scales is a program that East's Adopt-A-School Partner, Alliant Energy, launched that connects attorneys, judges, and other local leaders in the legal field with East High students to share their stories and professional experiences.

East High School Students attended a field trip to Electronic Theater Controls (ETC) in Middleton. They were shown around the facility on a tour of the manufacturing warehouse, research and design wing, and customer service areas. Students learned about the lighting products ETC develops, various careers and the college tuition assistance program ETC provides to it's employees.

This year the Southeast Asian Language for Native Speakers 1, 2 & 3 hosted their 16th annual Hmong New Year Celebration at East. The purpose of the Hmong New Year is to promote Hmong language, educate and entertain the audience with some of the Hmong’s rich culture and traditions.

One component of the play featured the Hmong New Year celebration; however, each year, the students presented a new aspect of the Hmong culture and beliefs. Thus, this year’s focus was on superstitions.  In addition to the play, the students also danced, sang, and showcased farming tools and musical instruments.
