MSCR East High School's Anime Club hosted an Anime Mini Convention which consisted many exciting activities! A cosplay contest, button making, mask art, a Cosplay 101 Workshop, gaming and so much more!  

The theme for National School Social Work Week 2022 was “Time to Shine.” School Social Workers shine brightly for their students, families, and school communities. Shining hope. Shining understanding. Shining respect. Thank you to our East High School Social Workers!

We are excited to announce that East High School will have Prom on Saturday, April 23rd, 2022, from 8:00-11:00pm at the Wisconsin Masonic Center. Tickets will be on sale for $15 April 18th-21st. More details coming soon.

9th-12th grade students can sign up for a FREE ACT Preparation Course from March 21st-May 4th. The prep course allows students to learn test-taking strategies, and can help improve overall study skills. Students will learn how to maximize test performance, extend vocabulary, increase comprehension of difficult passages, and learn how to write a position/support essay. Research has shown preparation and practice can significantly enhance how well scholars do on the actual test.

On Wednesday, March 16th and Thursday, March 17th East will be hosting our annual Human Rights Week presentation series. Presentations will be held in the theater and streamed to classes, like the Fine Arts Blizzard last December. Go to mmsd.anywhereseat.com and enter the code "HRW2022" for access.
