Big shoutout to the players and spectators of the Staff vs. Students basketball game during lunch today. The staff got the win, 16-14. A shout out to Mr. Kevin Attaway for officiating the game and to Custodian Ryan for setting up the sound system and bleachers.

This week is National School Counseling Week, a time to focus attention on the unique contribution of school counselors within school and how students are different as a result of what school counselors do. This year's theme is “School Counseling: Better Together,” sponsored the by American School Counselor Association. This week we celebrate our School Counselors and highlight the tremendous impact school counselors can have in helping students achieve school success and plan for a career.

Thank you East High School Counselors:
